Performance brakes on Long Range - What wheels?

[holmes5518]

Hello all. I have a 2022 Long Range Dual Motor.

I plan on installing the Performance brakes (for aesthetics) which I have already purchased and read through the extensive post on the forum.

I know I can't use my 18" aeros anymore, but can I use the normal 19" wheels (without the "step") on the LR with sport brakes? I keep reading about the step that performance rotors have but I cannot determine if I strictly need the 20" et34 performance wheels or the regular 19" et40 wheels will work ok.

Thanks!

You can use the 18" aero, just need to get the centerbore on the wheel machined to accept the ring around the rotors iirc.

I think your terminology is going to get you mixed answers. Define "normal 19" wheels" and "sport brakes." Also the performance rotors do not have a step, they expose a step on the hub that exists on all model 3s because the rotors are thinner.

I did this brake swap on my 2018 LR AWD. Assuming you're wanting to use the 19" OEM wheels which do not have a step machined in them, I would recommend a 3-5mm spacer which will cover the step and push your +40 offset wheels back out to where they were originally.

Thanks I hadn't messed with them in a couple of years, but did remember there was a lip on something.
