Full on RC mode. Wheels specs came out to be 20x11.5 +30ish.
I have .8* in the front and 1.5* at drive height. About 3.5* all around when aired out.
Here's an album with more pics and some videos.

Great set up. Wish I could do this in NY.
Btw dropped my tire psi to 39 on the stock 18s and stiffened up 1 more click on the struts. Ride quality is incredible
I think I'm like 3 clicks from the stiffest on all corners. The front had 32 and the rear had 22(?) for adjust-ability, right?

The wheels are square, but I needed a 2.5mm spacer in the front to clear the spindle.

That’s sweet, and let me guess... 265/30/20 all around? Also, I’m running 19x9.5 ET35 and I barely clear the spindle arm, your 11.5J ET27, it’s 17mm closer to the spindle arm, wonder if it’s because your are running 20inch ?

255/30/20, I should have went with a 265, but I wasn't sure if I needed the extra clearance since no one has posted about a fitment like this.
Yeah you get a little more clearance the higher you go up the arm. But I have about 1mm of clearance. Not recommended for spirited driving.
Who made your tank covers? Those are FIRE AF man, congrats!Got the tanks installed, wheels going on tomorrow

No kidding! Did you roll the fenders? Hard to visualize how the front wheels can even steer without rubbing. You definitely didn’t take any half measures. Haha. Impressive.
I thought my 9.5” wheels were tight...
He will probably chime in later but they are painted and then decals added for the wording.
Yup they are painted air tanks with vinyl lettering.
I am extremely happy with how close our calculations were. Funny enough, we sort of winged it. Since no one had posted about a fitment like this there was no info to go off of. So we just measured the distance from the spindle to the fender when under full compression, came out to be 12" exactly. I was originally going to go with an 11" wheel, but right at the end I said **** it go with an 11.5" and we'll make it fit later. The fenders did need to get pulled front and rear, but I am so in love with the final look. It came out even better than I envisioned.
Oh and there is no rub at all, even at full lock it doesn't hit any fender liner. I love how Tesla did their liners since I've had to pull them on all my other cars.

Need help!
What strut/bags options are there for the Model 3 RWD and what would you consider the best? I’m looking to put together a Air Suspension Kit together and like to incorporate the following items.
• Accuride Endo CVT Tank or tanks (not sure yet)
• Airlift’s Controller
I’m trying to figure out which height management components and struts to go with. Let me know what else I need to consider. It’s been awhile for me.My last ride with air suspension was my 2006 Chrysler 300
which I installed RideTech Air Ride Technologies SRT Kit. Are they still in business? Can’t seem to find them on the internet. All searches come up with parts for sale on eBay. So many choices now it’s crazy.
Let me know what any of you would install if money was no object. Be realistic.
Thanks

Your choices for the struts/bags are: Air Runner, Airtekk, and Universal Air Suspension.
You can only use the Endo CVT with Accuair's management systems. You can use The Endo CT(Compressor & Tank) with any management system though.
When installing the system, it will be easiest to run the lines for the rear bags through the rocker panel or through the space right next to it.
This picture shows both, one has the yellow pole in it, the other has the air line in it:
I used fiber glass poles designed for running wires, made it super easy. This is where it comes out in the rear:
