Show off your aftermarket wheels.

Do you only notice it as it’s parked? While it’s moving, if so for how long before it resets?

Only when parked. It's always a pretty minor difference (1/2" max), but I'm used to coilovers where you can adjust the height down to milimeters and have it stay exactly there.

It seems like it'll adjust the next time it is on a different surface, parked and motionless. You can actually hear the air increase/release if you listen closely.

Not sure how many times you have installed them or even removed all for tires but afterward it will usually make a loud noise as it drops on one end as the car levels out. Afterwards they say to start from Very high and continue to lower to each setting until very low, and than again on the way back up.

If it's the noise I'm thinking of, that's just because it's trying to adjust the height down, which moves suspension components and angles, and you're in park with the brakes on so it can't "flex" as it comes down. If you put it in neutral or drive and let it roll while it's coming down, you shouldn't hear that noise anymore because the components can move as the tires roll.

Honestly, it oculd just be that my garage floor isn't perfectly level, so the suspension *appears* as though it's not leveled when it's in there. I'm not sure. I wish we could get visibility into the pressures for each air shock...that would basically solve all of my questions, because I can't tell if it adjusts each corner separately, or just front/rear axles.

Do you leave it parked in very high? I have actually noticed this only in my P85D+ when it’s parked in very high

Looks pretty clean... you running spacers?

 

[tyler2323]

looks like et 23-25 in the rears and et 23 in fronts if im not mistaken

I actually figured out what the avant garde are
Fronts 21x10 +32 Rears 22x11 +22.
Zero rubbing with 3mm spacer in front or 5 mm either works and no spacers for the rears.
Tires 255 30 21
295 25 22

Here’s another set of shoes I run on my Tesla. These are custom powder coated Forgiato Maglia’s and are 9 inch Fronts and 10.5 inch Rears I believe. I have so many it’s hard to keep track. I would be willing to part ways with some of the rims at the right price. These are 21’s but look like 22’s and are extremely light. I have had the fastest times ever posted by a P85D and DL with these on my Tesla.
I put these on a black car cuz u never see black cars with white rims. I would still do this look and add accents in white like I started too but the would be amazing on a red, white, or even any color as it has black and white with the red F center caps

Is there any 19” BBS option? I’d love to get BBS for my Model S, but I don’t want to take the performance hit by going bigger.

What badges lol

 

[tyler2323]

My bad I hope no one thinks I was running 21 inch rims on the front and 22’s on the rears lol. Just noticed now. But @duybile this is how they look with being able to run spacers not adapters that would mess up the fitment.

You saw the ag’s above. Using these studs allows you to run up to probably a 15mm spacer or more if needed. Adapters are obviously better the thicker you go but throw off the offset if you have them perfect. Like I said I would use 10-15mm spacers on those ag’s if I install a widebody kit to run it flush with the fender flares.
Lmk if u want to know what studs and the best tool ever invented to install them. Literally took 15 min

Need some advice and help please, I have the option to buy a 20 inch 5x120 vorsteiner v-ff 103 set of my taste but has 8,5 front wheels width. (I have a model S 70D)
Most here I see with 9 or 9,5 fronts. Is 8,5 too small and not recommended?? (Thinking of a staggered set)

8.5" is the factory width of the front turbine/arachnid wheels. I think some people just prefer if going with an aftermarket wheel to go wider but there's really no negative to sticking with a stock width wheel if the desired offset you like works.

If you want rim protection, get 8.5. If you like the stretched look get 9 or 9.5.

Regardless which width you get, you are pretty much stuck with 245 or 255 tires.

thank you guys, and on the back? go for 275 or 285 width on the 10.5j wide rim?, hate rubbing...

Rubbing depends on the wheel spec not entirely the tire size. Without knowing the offset it's hard to give suggestion.

 

[Ray456]

10.5 come in et40 and et34, think et40 will be problematic with such a wide tyre seeing my arachnids just fit in the back (21 inch and 265) right?

New summer wheels. Work Gnosis 9X22 with 245/30-22 and 10,5X22 with 285/25-22View attachment 293991 View attachment 293995

This is the hottest thing ever. LMK if you ever want to sell them.
One of my favorite VIP wheels was the Work Varienza T1s, but they've been discontinued forever now. Looks like your GS5s are also discontinued.

Meant to say winter setup before hitting submit.. Same configuration as the stock 19s squared.

I have the stock dark gray 21 inch staggered turbines if anyone wants them reasonably for $1000 obo. Will put them back on in a month hopefully. MN winter's you never know.

I'll vinyl the rest of the chrome after winter too. Lower it, new aftermarket wheels, front lip done️
