Model Y wheels on Model 3?

[GringoViejo]

After hitting a few too many potholes, I went to get my 19" Model 3 wheels balanced and found that two are slightly dinged and one is bad enough that it can't be trued. I'm about ready for new tires anyway (23K miles) and wondered if it's advisable to mount stock Model Y Gemini wheels on the Model 3. I know the Gemini wheels are a half inch wider and that the profile will be slightly higher, but has anybody done this (or similar), and is there any particular reason not to.

There are discussions about mounting Model 3 wheels on a Model Y but, as far as I can tell, not vice versa.

Any advice?

Thanks!

PS: I also have a Model Y but I won't be switching those wheels.

Yes you can hack the Gemini wheels with spacers to fit them on a 3 but they won't fit well and won't do anything to address your pothole concern since you can't use Model Y tire sizes on a 3.

The only option to reduce pothole damage would be to downsize to 18" wheels. Used OEM "Aeros" are cheap and plentiful, or go aftermarket with TSportline etc.

Model Y Gemini Wheels on Model 3 Performance/Can it be done?

With the amount of Gemini Y wheels out there for sale cheap and no Model 3 Gemini wheels avail anywhere figured Id give this a shot. Fyi, the Y Gemini and the 3 Gemini are different to my surprise. The 3s are 19x8.5 and the Ys are 19x9.5 w a et45 offset. Running a 255/40/19 snow tire. I bolted...
