Those who wonder what it takes to make sure the fitment is spot-on and the options you could do on the new Model S Platform.

1. Initial measurement
2. fine measurement
3. build the demo
4. test fitting
5. perfect fitment. (Result)

The new model S got a lot of potential on some wide setup; so far, the widest we could put on the rear is 325 width with a 12” wide wheel. It will fit perfectly flush with minimal to no poke.

We also come up with few options that focus on efficiency and balance.

@SignatureSales - what is the weight of the new Arachnids (just the rims, not including the tires) on the Plaid?

@SignatureSales - what is the weight of the new Arachnids (just the rims, not including the tires) on the Plaid?

Tirerack lists the weight of the 295/30/21 Pilot sport 4s as 30 lbs. That would mean the wheels weigh 35'bs in the rear and probably 31ish in the front.

@drdonger is right. Based on the weight of the tire, the new Arachnids would weight around 35lb each.

 

[SilverGS]

@drdonger is right. Based on the weight of the tire, the new Arachnids would weight around 35lb each.

So roughly speaking the Signature SV801 weighs about 5 lbs less for a smaller wheel - 20 x 11?

Signature wheels add roughly 1 lb per inch diameter so to be safe a 21x11 is about 24 lbs based on the weight Jamie posted. that’s how it is for their sv104s and 500 series. This design of the 801 is similar.

I'd love to see the 20's installed on the refreshed Model S - either LR or Plaid. On my 2016, unless you install a lowering kit, there is a tad too much gap between the top of the fender and the tire. Here is mine with 255/35/20 front and 285/30/20 rear

New Model S come in 265/35/21 (265/40/21) up front, the wheel gap look perfect at low setting.

So the width in front from the pic above is 295? You were able to fit a 295/35/20 in the front without any problems? What about the rear - is that the one in the video above? What size is that rear tire?

Front and rear is both in the same size. 20x11 with 295/35/20.

The front fits, but it has some poke and the cleanance is very tight from the control arm . (Not the fitment for everyone) . Based on our measuemnt and test fitting, the widest front without any poke would be 10.5J with 285 tire. (With proper offset of course)

 

[SignatureSales]

Beisde all the measurement, we also spent good amount of $$ on building demos in various of spec just to ensure we can the fitment spot on for the new LR/Plaid owner.

The result is well worth it.

Thanks for clarifying. So what about the rear, can you not go wider in the rear than 295?

Good question you brought up. Based on our measurement, 12J with 325 width tire is doable on the new Plaid S and the fitment will still be flush with barley any poke!

Since it’s gonna be very tight clearance, we got a single demo wheel in production now in 20x12 just to confirm. Should be ready in about a week or so.

With that being said, you could fit 295 up to 315 without issue. (325 still need to be confirm)

That would be killer even with 315!!! Now i need to buy a Plaid lol

This wheel gap looks perfect to me. Symmetrical around the whole wheel. I hate when the fender is sitting right on top of the wheel and the sides have a big gap. It makes the car look like a ghetto low rider imo.

@SignatureSales can you tell if the new Tesla Arachnid is still a forged wheel? At 35lbs, I’m guess it isn’t.
