I’ve been looking for a full size M3 spare wheel to keep in my garage (direct replacement) so that if I get a flat I could driving as normal. There obviously haven’t been many M3s scrapped in the UK and USA shipping is going to be ££s for a spare wheel. The exact spec seems a little hard to find something aftermarket at the right price for a spare.
Wheel spec is here (to save you popping outside): The Tesla Model 3 Wheel and Tire Guide
Thinking slightly smaller + bigger profile tyres. A cheap steel with the same offset and stud a pattern: Alcar 9317 Black 7.0x16 5x114.3 ET40 67.1 steel rim
How that compares size wise: https://www.willtheyfit.com/index.p...ct2=65&wheel_size=16&wheel_width=7&offset2=40
The weight of car means I would get the right tyre rating and obviously drive a little more conservative than normal but at least I would be mobile for the few days its takes to get a new tyre.
Any objections or good reasons not to?
