Model Y Performance : All Terrain Tires and Wheels with no Lift Kit?

[jcan]

Got the rims on, but only using rubber valve stems I've sent out a couple emails hoping to find a solution which will work, otherwise I'm thinking some M10 washers?? I'll let you know which way works as the error messages are popping up now telling me pull over hahaha.

The Tire shop and Method team were of no help at all. I'm not sure if this is the best way, but it's the way it's working for me. To get this done I placed an 8mm Oring with a 2mm cross section under the TPMS rubber washer, I had run out of 9mm Orings which may have worked better, the 11mm doesn't fit in the seat. Hopefully this will save others time and money that go with this type of rim as they look awesome! I may have to get the wheels rebalanced now, so far they seem fine.

@jcan Were you able to install after market TPMS? I just bought same method wheels and Bluetooth TPMS from Tsportline. Hope they'll fit?

I installed the OEM tpms sensors on my MYP 23 built mid Feb. Let me know if the aftermarket fit directly on with no problems and don't forget about the pics. I've just received the lift kit but waiting for install. What Tires do you think you'll run with?

Yes, those after market one fit perfectly. I'm getting my lift kit this week too but now wondering about the range hit ...getting around 200 miles with 18" AT tires

Anyone have photos of a 245/60r18 setup without a lift? I’ve heard mixed things with this setup around rubbing. I’m mostly looking at getting a set of 18” Aeros to mount them in and expect with an 8.5” wide wheel and the factory Tesla offset it should be ok, but would love to hear some real world experience before I pull the trigger on $1k+ worth of tires. I’m looking more at an all weather tire like Cross Climates, the new Pirelli All Weather, or possibly the Nokian Outpost APT so nothing too chunky (which I suspect will also help with clearance).

Not exactly a A/T tire but a meaty A/S tire on my 23’ MYP, BBS RGR 19x9.5 +22 with a 265/50/19 on oem tesla “performance” suspension

Oops I meant 235/60r18 - not 245.

in few months
will mount 255/45/20 wild peak a/t

These look amazing. What wheels are they? Did you ever mount the Wild Peaks?

I have very little patience for rubbing or noises. These rubbed less than a mil of material from the driver side wheel well, but did it silently. See photos.
*Note: Despite what it looks like in the head-on image, the wheels/tires do not protrude out from the wheel arch, I'd judge that they result in about stock/oem net-offset with relation to the wheel arch.
*Note: If the tire shop places the wheel weights in just wrong spot, then they will lightly strike the caliper in the rear on each rotation.

I too am interested in the 255/45/20 falken wildpeak on the induction wheels. Anyone got picks? It’d be going on a LR model with no other modifications

Notice any loss in range or increase in Wh/mi?

not yet, still waiting on the OE tires to get wear down. maybe in 2-3 months

Anybody have 245/60R18 on Method 502s Or another 8" wheel with +38 offset? Looking to put Nokian Hakka snow tires on this setup. MYLR w/ MPP spacer lift.

Thank you for posting this! Just ordered these 707 methods, easily the best looking wheel for overland. Was going to go with the new highland model 3 wheels or og aeros from a 3, but can't get them from any dealers, just wanted the range with aero covers, but may 3d print or cnc my own. In the end, this costs the same, and they're more rugged wheels. Keep in mind, I think they need a hub ring (64.1 - 73.1), but that's $15 buck on Amazon. All in 2.1k with TPMS and mounting.

Got any pics yet?

Well the 707's ended up being out of stock. So went with powder coated 750kg model 3 wheels (make sure it's not the 700kg ones). I do have a 2023 MYP and I have had zero rubbing with 245/60/18s. I even have the aero covers new from tesla on the vehicle. Will post a pic soon. I think these M3 wheels are the best route. The vehicle is at least 5x's quieter and you barely notice any bumps.

Nice. Would love to see it.
