Putting 2022 19" wheels/tires on 2017 Model S?

[jacie6056]

Has anyone attempted to fit the updated 21-inch Arachnid wheels onto the Legacy Model S?

In case you have, please advise on the required wheel spacer length to accomplish this task. Would a 15mm be suitable?

I happen to have a spare Arachnid wheel on hand that I'm eager to experiment with.

In the front the 19"x9.5" rim rubs on the aluminum suspension/knuckle/upright it just makes contact with the inner lip/edge of the rim.

In the rear the 19"x9.5" rim and 255/45R19 tire has clearance to the body but rubs on the liner farther up on the inner fender.

I used 10mm hub-centric spacers at all four corners. The fronts do rub the plastic wheel liner at the front a little when turn max right when I back out of my driveway. But, other than that I like these wheels.

Have you replaced the original equipment stud with a longer aftermarket stud? I'm assuming the original stud didn't provide enough space for tightening it up properly.

I didn't replace studs. I did change to ET Bulge Acorn (Extra Thread) lug nuts. They get better contact on the studs.

I have a full set pf Plaid wheels on my 2013 P85+
Front 5mm spacer and a 9.5 x 19 rim 255 45 19 tire (rubs a little when reversing and turning)
Rear 5mm spacer and a 10.5 x 19 rim with a 255 45 19 tire (a little stretched) fits and looks good.
The car complained a little because of the Tempest wheels were staggered with a slight difference in diameter. Now that have a 'square' setup I selected the slipstream wheels that all use the same size tire.
Below is the stretched 255 45 19 on the 10.5 x19 rim.

did you get extended wheel studs?

did you get extended wheel studs?

I bought them but did not install them.

I am only using a 5mm spacer in the rear and I still have 7.5-8 full threads of engagement.

(8 threads of engagement is the industry standard for safe number of threads to hold something on).

So I do not think I need them, it might be safer if I had a few more threads holding my wheel on.

On the front of my car I have 14-15 treads of engagement so no need for longer studs. I was able to run a 15mm spacer and still have 8+ threads of engagement.

you're running 10.5 squared or 9.5?
