putting on 19 inch wheels

[namjachoi]

hi very amateur question but i currently have stock 18in wheels, car is lowered and have spacers on. Can I just place the 19 inch wheels directly on without any further modifications? Thanks!

Assuming that you're running 15mm/20mm spacers, or even 20mm/25mm spacers with 18" aero wheels, and you want to install factory 19" sport wheels, then yes it will fit. The 19" wheels will raise your car up a half inch or so.

If you're asking about aftermarket 19" wheels, then it all depends on the offset of the wheels.

If you are looking for OEM wheels, search on ebay and craigslist. For aftermarket ones, try 4wheelonline as they have a nice selection.

Why would the OEM 19" wheels raise up the car by half an inch when they are the same overall diameter as the OEM 18" wheels??

Well, to be very accurate, they are somewhere around .07" in difference.

same question but with 20 inch performance wheels. My car is lowered with eibach springs and has 15/20mm spacers. Will the 20 inch wheels be a problem? Thanks!

Yes, 19" and 20" wheels will fit on a Model 3 and all those sizes are factory available options for the M3. If you switch to 19" or 20" you want to get tires with approximately the same diameter as your original tires. You can use this calculator (Tire Size Calculator) to see tire size options, but you can also just look up the specifications for stock Tesla Model 3 18", 19", and 20" wheel and tire sizes. Match those specs and everything will fit fine. TSportline has an article about Model 3 wheels that is useful (The Tesla Model 3 Wheel and Tire Guide. Complete Model 3 Wheel Specs. - T Sportline - Tesla Model S, 3, X & Y Accessories) and a number of posts on this site post information regarding tires and wheels.
