Older 21" rims on new (2022) Model S do fit.

[Merle]

Just an FYI, had a set of older rims (21" 9 and 8.5 widths) from a 2015 Model S P100DL, slipstreams if I recall.

They fit just fine on the new Tesla Model S. Drove for more than 200 miles without any incident. There didn't look like there was any issue with the brake dust shields or rubbing anywhere. Makes me believe that the older rims (possibly including the 18" ones) will fit.

Will try the 18" rims next, they were purchased for snow tires and costs nothing to jack up the car and try it - but will need to get the car back from the shop.

They do fit, but I wouldn’t say they fit just fine. They are narrow and the offset is way into the wheel well. This may be ok for a winter setup but I wouldn’t recommend it for anything else.

Probably saves the paint!

“Fit” as in bolts on—yes, however they’re not as wide and not meant for the refresh suspension and handling geometry

Got a question - does the opposite work? Can you put 2022 rims on an older S (2017-2020)

Yes & No...

4x front wheels from a 2022 Model S will fit on a legacy Model.

This is the closest thread I could find but older 19" rims (Cyclone I think they were called) won't work on 2023 Model S? Thanks.

Anyone know? I assume they don't now that I looked as the long range Model S now has staggered wheels I think.

The reply is the same as as for the 21".

Cyclone is Size: 19x8.0" and Offset: +35.
New 19" Tesla Model S Cardenio Aero Wheel are Size: 19x9.5" Front, 19x10.5" Rear and Offset: +40 Front, +45 Rear

You can find the specs of both wheels from here:

Thanks. So could work but not recommended. I'll just include the two sets of rims with the car when I sell it.

I posted earlier today, but got most of my answer here. I'm wanting to put the newer 19" tempest wheels on a 2016. Looks like they will work without issue, though might be best with a small wheel spacer.
The pre-21 Model S had a 64.1mm center bore, and as long as the later wheels have center bores that size or larger, there shouldn't be an issue. Anyone able to measure centerbore on a later wheel?
TIA

Center bore hasn’t changed. I don’t think they will work without issue without a spacer. The front rim will be 24mm closer to the suspension
