PUP tires and rims on a rear wheel drive model 3

[Shopmicrocode]

Will this work ? Or does the different hub prevent it from fitting ? I'm selling my PUP rims and tires to someone who has a regular model 3 and was curious if there will be any issues.

Premium Upgrade Package has nothing to do with tire and wheel differences.

I'm sure he means the other PUP, performance upgrade package.

The 20" rims that are included with PUP are milled to fit on the the P3D wheel hub, so they're a little different than the normal 20" rims offered by tesla. So, I was wondering if there are anything preventing a real wheel drive model from accepting and using said rims.

Shouldn't be hard to figure out the machining differences on the back of the wheel hub.

I started a thread on this and didn't get an answer. My semi educated guess is that the P3D+ wheels will fit any M3 with a caveat. The they-will-fit argument goes like this: conventional wisdom is that the P3D+ wheels are different because they have a "step" machined into the inner end of the hub barrel to accommodate a lip at the base of the disc rotor. This step is only a few millimeters deep, and leaves the rest of the hub barrel unaltered which allows adequate length for the hub to center the wheel on the hub, its primary function. The other difference of the P3D+ wheel, of course, is the larger back side to clear those red larger rear calipers, which isn't germane to this question.

The caveat is that the package that Tesla sells to fit the 20" wheels to M3s not equipped from the factory includes a set of rear upper fore links, and they specify the wheels be installed by a Service Center. Due diligence suggests additional research.

Agreed, I'm actually on the phone to the service center to find out what they know. Which may or may not give me an accurate answer.

Maybe we should start calling these PreUP and PerUP to avoid confusion.

Tesla All-Wheel Drive has two independent motors. Unlike traditional all-wheel drive systems, these two motors digitally control torque to the front and rear wheels—for far better handling and traction control. Your car can drive on either motor, so you never need to worry about getting stuck on the road. If one motor stops working, you can safely continue to your destination with the second.

The Performance Upgrade Option, or PUO, is the package that adds the 20" wheels, larger brakes, red calipers, suspension tweaks, possibly other things.
