Tire Size Question

[adrianp89]

I tried searching but kept getting Model S info. Can the M3 fit a 245/45r19 with no issues?

I plan also to use larger tires width, mostly to avoid curb rash.

I think you should use the 40R ratio, you can chek all the closer compatible size using tiresize.com

I have seen some threads with pictures of 255/40R/19, it's what I plan to use.

Note: On tirerack.com you can find the following recommended Model 3 Staggered tires.

Front: 19"235/40-19
Rear : 19"265/35-19

Front: 20"235/35-20
Rear : 275/30-20

I would like to know too....

So let me rephrase - would a 255/40/19 work up front? Not looking to go staggered - just want at least a 19" with the most sidewall as possible.

Yes, 255/40/19 will fit. I am running that right now and have seen others run it without problems.

The look of your car is perfect!!! What is the offset on your wheels? What would work better 32 or 40 with the 255/40/19?

Agreed - would love to see a few more pics of it. Curious if it is lowered.

Thanks! The offset is 35. As for 32 or 40 offset, that depends on what you like aesthetically. 32 offset will poke out slightly further, whereas, 40 offset be a little more sunken into the wheel well. If you go with a 40 offset, you can always add spacers to make your wheels poke out more.

It is not lowered yet. Coilovers are supposed to be delivered on Tuesday.
