Forgive my ignorance, but do the spacers have any effect on warranty or tire wear? As someone asked above, will they hold up on a P100DL?

Take them off before going in for service. Yes they are fine on P100DL. I would suggest calling lenny directly before you order to answer all of your questions.

Agreed... I run 19" in the winter at Tahoe and 21" Arachnids in the summer.I like the offset, but 19s are just too small.
There are a lot of 20" and 21" BMW wheels available ... search for M5 and M6

I mounted my arachnids today because I couldn’t wait any longer. They take a hour including washing and storing my turbines. So if your go at this thing with power tools you’ll be done in 30 minutes. Meaning taking off your spacers before taking the car to the SC won’t be that difficult.

That was literally the first purchase I made after taking delivery of the car. Always about having the proper tools for me.
As for the BMW logos, he’s using them as winters so if he’s like me, only swaps the wheels in when needed. Either way, details do matter.
Now I just need to decide on which wheels to get. Have settled on 20s vs 21s and hope I won’t regret it/get size envy.
Tire Rack still has the 21” Axis Allies on closeout, but they are just too “flat” IMO.

The BMW caps disappeared on day-1 ... replaced with the original Alpina caps from my M6As for the BMW logos, he’s using them as winters so if he’s like me, only swaps the wheels in when needed. Either way, details do matter.

I really like the concave dish on these wheels that accentuates the low offset.

What size tires fit these? Are you running them without the TPMS or did you buy extra sensors for the BMW wheels?Here you go. The wheels are OEM takeoffs from my BMW M6... Forged 19" with staggered width 8.5" front/9.0" rear with ET 14mm offset

I just swapped the Tesla OEM 245/15-19 Michelin tires & TPMS over to the BMW wheels ... a direct fit! You could go 265 on the rear

Hi, I am considering buying some wheel spacers for my Model S. I have non-staggered turbine OEM 21 inches. Any recommendations on how many mm and where to buy them.
Thanks

I have 20/25 on mine with staggered. 25 front 20 rear. With the non staggered I would swap them and put the 20s on the front and 25s on the rear.
