Hello Everyone,
I am one month in with my Model 3 and I love it but I am looking at ways to subtly fill up the tire to fender gap without lowering because the Model 3 I feel sits low enough.
I am thinking of going up one tire size 245/45/r18 which I know is only going to give me about .3" additional height, and add a little more width vs. the stock tires.
I was also looking at adding in 5mm Adaptec spacers (I have used short 5mm spacers in a couple of my other performance cars in the past mainly for looks.
I want to keep the aero wheels with the covers on.
In searching and reading here and on other sites/forums/posts there are numerous discussions around the different tire sizes for the 18" configuration being discussed, but almost nothing around 5mm spacers being used (stock height not lowered).
When I was researching lowering the Model 3 I was thinking of 7mm-10mm spacers, but since I am staying stock height but looking at a slightly larger tire I am thinking 5mm.
Any thoughts or if anyone has done this, any pics?
I appreciate the feedback.
