Tire Talk - MX wheels + 295 rear?

[Pismo]

Hi All,
Quick one,
Have option for some new tires real cheap.

Brand New Winter Tires Bridgestone Blizzaks
Front - 245/35/R20
Rear - 295/35/R20

Hoping to go on MX slipstreams, however, would the rear fit? I know 295 is large for a 9.5 wheel.
However, hoping it wouldnt rub?

What's the biggest size you can run, I know the stock tires are 275 (though that is a model X) - but I run 265/35/21 so I did a comparison below
Look forward to your thoughts.

20" Model X Slipstream Wheels on Model S
Also found this thread too.

• 20x10" Rear +40 Rear with 295/35/R20 tires. Vredestein Ultrac Vorti.

Fits with a little room to spare.

Can confirm, I have 295's on my S in the rear on 22x10.5 +38 wheels, and there's no fitment issues.

Here’s a good chart to follow for rim and tires sizes.

depending on you rear wheel offset

depending on you rear wheel offset

They would be
Size: 20x9.5"+35 Offset: +35
(Aka, Model X 20" slipstreams"

This says 11mm more - so even with 295 - it should all fit right?

Now I have them, I am not sure if they will fit a 9.5 wheel - They are brand new, so i might try get them switched for some 275.
Has anyone ran 295 on a MX rear wheel?

I'm curious about this as well. I got the 20" slipstreams from the X and will be buying tires soon and would love to have at least 285s at the back

I’ll admit I don’t know this for sure but 295 or 305 in the rear should work fine. I’m basing this off my experience with the Model S and 3. For example, the model 3 OEM tires are 235 and the widest tire you can put on with no modifications is 265. That’s 30mm. Model X is 275 in the rear. You should be able to get a 295 on all four corners.

I know for a fact that even with 255 (let alone 295) in the front the tires will rub on full turn in reverse.

You've had 295 on your S and there is no rubbing in the front or back?

Im running 20x10 255/35/20 and 20x11 295/30/20 on my model S

no rubbing, offset is a key factor

Thanks, what are the offsets?

I'd love to see some shots of your car taken from close to the ground to see how wide they look from both the front and back as well as from the side to see how close the tires align with the fenders. Thanks

Hopefully this week I can do some testing

Absolutely fantastic!!

On the standard 20 inch MX wheels with the specs noted below, what is the widest width tires you recommend that will not cause any issues whatsoever? TIA!

Center Bore: 64.1mm
Front wheels: 20 x 9.0 +35 mm offset.
Rear wheels: 20 x 10.0 +40mm offset.

SilverGS,

I would run 245/40/20 and 285/35/20 with the MX offset you provided

Thanks! Those are the widths I had settled on based on my research, but also wanted to get your opinion to validate my findings.

Fitted the 275 on the rear and they fiot fine. Curious though, for TPMS - Tesla notice appears about change of wheels - what has everyone else selected? 19s or 21s? the 275/35/20 fit closer to a rolling circumference of a 19" wheel?
