Model Y Performance Wheel Specs

[demowild]

Recently picked up our MYP and have questions on a tire setup and rim specs and looking to get a winter set of wheels but am finding conflicting information relating to specs/possibilities.

Questions:

1. Can a 19x9.5 fit on a performance model?​

2. Is the Hub Bore 66.1 or 64.1​

3. How important is the wheel offset to match factory?​

4. Any recommendations for a winter setup w/ 19" (specifically rims) without killing the bank?​

Appreciate any and all feedback with first hand experiences/insight.

Stock 19" Gemini's, probably the best bang for your buck by finding a set via private sales.

If you are changing wheel think about the benefits of lighter ones to reduce unsprung weight

I was told by a tesla service tech the stock gemini's would not work on the performance version.

It fits fine, plenty of folks including myself run them.

What was the end result? I'm in the same exact boat and want to know what rims to buy online. I keep hearing about "make sure your rims will fit the performance calipers" so im not sure what to go with

I have Advan Racing 18*9.5J on my M3P, I'm sure 19*9.5J for Model Y would save you a ton of unsprung weight and they look super nice.

Gemini's fits without any issue. I even put 255/50 R19 instate of 255/45 R19's

Hey, nice fitment. You still run without any issue? Any rubbing occured?

 

[Boedha-Online]

no issue's or rubbing what so ever. it's comfortable but not as sporty anymore. Steering is not as direct as it was before

Btw, did you swap tire pressure sensors from 21" to 19" without any issues?

What do you mean by not as direct as it was before?

the oem Tesla bluetooth sensors work out of the box new or used within 1 mile of driving. The 19's already has them installed

the steering response is not the same. with the 21's is nice and direct. with the 19' s the car is a little loose on it's wheels, the steering takes a little longer for the car to response

btw I took them off again and installed the factory Uberturbines with the rear tires moved to the front and new 305/35's installed on the rear

I'm picking up a new 23' MYP this week and I found some new 20’’ Überturbine Wheels that came off a 23' M3P. I was thinking of mounting my existing 255/40R-20 Vredestein Wintrac Pro XL onto the M3P wheels and use that as my winter setup. Does anyone know if this will work? Do I need spacers or different lugs?

Thanks!

They will work and will look great. The MYP should have come with the 20’s IMHO.

I‘d describe it the exact same way. The factory 21” Pirellis have an aggressive steering feel that the taller sidewalls on the 19’s can’t match. For some reason, my 19’s don’t “chase” ruts and grooves in the pavement like the 21’s do. I’d be curious how much of that is all-season tread design compared to the summer performance tires on the 21’s, but I have a ways to go before I wear either of them out.

What do you mean by not as direct as it was before?

To expand on what the other person said, you can think of it like this. When you turn your steering wheel, you're turning the wheels and not the tires. You need the tires to turn before your car actually responds. And tires with taller sidewalls will, all else being equal, take longer to respond.

Similarly, anything that hits the tires (e.g. pot holes) will be absorbed by the tires, and effects of the impact would not translate as directly up into the chassis with taller sidewall tires. That's one reason why comfort and responsiveness are almost always inversely related, all else being equal.

Looks like the M3P wheels are 9" vs the MYP 9.5". Just trying to decide if that is a good option and if they will fit correctly with the 255/40R-20 Vredestein Wintrac Pro XL.
