Aggmeister201we have noticed after lowering a Model S, the rubbing may go away as the we've noticed the rubbing is only on the front surface (closest to the front bumper) of the front inner fender liner (and only rubs at certain angles). Offset, wheel width and tire size/brand also plays factors in the rubbing.

We identified rubbing using a 21x9.0+30 on a factory Michelin 245/35-21. When we backed the offset down to a +35, and lowered an S on the same tire, we noticed no rubbing. Keep in mind not tires of the same size are equal in dimension (some are rounder and some are square on the edges).

Yep, that sounds right. Factory 21" Turbine offset is +40, right? I had 20mm spacers on mine to make them more flush with the fenders, and that caused rub in the front. I let out some pressure in the tires and that helped a bit. I'm sure once the tread wears off a bit, that'll help more. But as a more permanent fix, I plan to have the caster adjusted slightly to give me more space in the front. I know this will make the right a little 'softer,' but I'm not carving corners in my car so that doesn't really matter to me.

The best looking wheels I have seen under Tesla. I have been looking for OZ Challenge lookalikes but in 20''. But these look super mean as well.

That’s a pretty bold statement, but thank you. I’ve seen quite a bit of hate for throwing JDM wheels on a Tesla, but too bad it’s my car not theirs lol

Don't see why it matters where the wheels are from if they are quality. What spec are your Ultras? I asked before but didn't get an answer.

 

[dripkit]

how come you needed the +11 hubcentric spacer?
was it because you dropped it on llowering brtackets

Yes. The super wide rears combined with lowering caused some significant rubbing on the shock by the tire.

I just ordered a new set of Vossen VSF4s and have been looking at old threads.

How is everyone handling the T45/Rotor warping issues if their wheels don’t have the cutout for the T45 bolt? Are they just removing the bolt before install so the wheel sits flat with the rotor? Thanks

Here is the link I’m referring to :

Front is ET30 9" width with 245/35-21. Rear is ET38 10.5" 285/30-21 tires. The front tires does only rub a little in reverse when turning the wheel much. But the stock 21" did that to on my car too.

Out of curiosity, would 9.5" width wheels fit in the front without major rubbing? If so, what offset?

The VFS1's look super awesome, especially with a deep profile - and it looks like in 9.5" from -10 to +35, they're available in deep profile to match the deep rears.

 

[colindo1990]

with the right offset, 9.5 et 30 should fit without rubbing

I placed an order for lowering links and 22" Vossen VFS-1's today with EVS (a vendor here)!

Everything should be here within 3 weeks - It'll look similar to this one, but slightly less low:

those are Unplugged brackets for sure on the lowest setting !!!

That seems like the air suspension is broken.

Did they make the CI-R without the polished lip or did you have them redone?

hmm not aware of a polished lip . . do you mean the stainless rim protector? that is still on the wheels, just color matched black to rest of the wheel face.
