There's a couple of people. Problem is you need pretty significant ones I believe 15mm-20mm and then you need. And then you need to ensure they clear the oem studs otherwise the wheels won't mount up.
Seriously though just google it. Tesla model S wheel spacers. There's a thread here from ay least a year or so ago.

I too considered spacers on my 21" arachnids (staggered), but with so much torque wondered if I might be asking for problems down the road. So i paused.
Would love to see photos of your setup once installed.

Plus is looks so nice even without the spacers that I didn't feel the need to go further

The offset for the turbines and arachnids is the same: 40mm. I have the staggered arachnids with Michelin pilot sport. The spacers needed to make the outer edge of the rims flush with the top of the fenders is 22mm front and 18 mm rear. That’s what I have on my car.

Once you get used to seeing the car with spacers it really doesn't look right anymore without them (especially the front wheels).

Very nice, I've loved seeing your mods, artsci. I'm picking up my P85D on Thursday and my head is swimming with the possibilities. Did you need an alignment after adding the spacers?
Also, did you also use lowering links or brackets? If so, does that change the spacer size to avoid touching the fender?
Thanks in advance!

Thanks @Firecat. Yes, I have lowering links. You might want to see this thread for the details. If you install the lowering links you'll want to have the car aligned at the lowest setting (unless your settings never lower the car at speed). Otherwise the spacers make no alignment difference.
When I back up the car the front tires rub the fender well a bit. But it's not serious, so I've learned to live with it. The rear is not a problem.
Ok guys so all fitted today, I ended up going with 20mm all round (15mm don’t work as the stock studs are too long. 18mm would work)
I lowered the car using Airmatic adjustable links and they were great quality and easy to install.
I’ll get better pics but here’s a few for now in its standard setting.
For reference it’s a P85D on staggered 21” turbines
