Here ya go:That's awesome. Can you share pics?
Looks great andyfire. Finally got mine on the car. Went with 710ff 19x9.5 all around with 255s. Really liking the setup

Here's a couple more pics. I would go with 255/35/19 size tires if you don't track like me. My wheels are 19x9.5 +33 offset all around. No rubbing at all. I would recommend new skinnier lug nuts (I went with 19mm lugs). Or you could go with the same size wheels as the tesla sport wheels (19x8.5) with 245 tires instead of 235. The vmr wheels will have a +35 offset.
I adjusted my driving habits so that range loss is now minimal (like less than 5%). Instead of going 80 mph, I go about 70 mph during my morning commute.
Hi,
what is the advice for size tires and wheels in 20 inch (thinking of VMR 710) on a Model 3 Standard Range Plus?
Is staggered possible or is there a good reason why you should't do that?
They will fit, one of the example photos that VMR has on their website for those wheels is a Model 3. I'm not sure what offsets they offer, but you'd likely want something between +33 and +40, but it also depends on the wheel width you go with. Send VMR an email and they can probably help you out with sizing.
Staggered is definitely possible, but it will hurt your handling and make the car understeer quite a bit. The only time people really do staggered is if they want to make the car look better at the expense of handling.
If I had to do it again I’d get square and go with 255 width all around, now that we know that size fits. On the performance I’d do staggered with 255 front and 275 rear.
Thanks!
I am awaiting a reply from VMR! Let them make the best choice for me in 20”.
I don’t mind a little bit extra understeer...
Especially not when you get a car looking this agressive! ;-)
Hello all. Great thread here. All the posts have been helpful. I drive a white Stealth AWD - so I think they call it the P3D- ? So I have the regular, non-Performance brake calipers. I was hoping for some advice.
I came to this thread in a round-about fashion. I'm currently running stock 18" but I've been looking for some cool 19" wheels. I came across a white M3 last week in a parking lot and I fell in love with the wheels. They're 20", so they look even better than 19s. But I'm sticking with 19s as I've read their more practical and comfortable to drive.
Also, I think the car I saw was lowered as well.
Anyway, the wheels on this white M3 were marked "VMR". So I took some pics of it, went home and started googling. I found VMRs site. I guess these were V710 (not V710FF) because they are silver and I don't thing the FF come in silver.
Doing some more googling, I came across this thread!
I've attached some pics of the white M3. Such great looking wheels!
So I contacted VMR and they sent me back this reply:
A square setup would certainly be more practical for a daily driver since you'll be able to rotate your tires. The recommended square setup would be 19x8.5 ET35 in the front and rear with a 235/40/19 tire. I'll leave a quote below with the all seasons along with some pictures.
4x VMR Wheels V710 19x8.5 ET35 5x114.3 64.1 $280
Yokohama Advan Sport A/S $727
Dunlop Signature HP $820
Pirelli P Zero All Season $977
TPMS Installation: $220
Mounting and road force balance: $60
W&T Pkg Shipping: $50
Total Shipped: $2177 w/Yokohama; $2270 w/Dunlop; $2427 w/Pirelli
So again, I'm hoping to get some advice. Please keep in mind that I know nothing about wheels and tires, size, offsets, etc. So go easy!
1. What's the difference between V710 and v710FF? They look identical in the pics on the VMR website? (apart from the colors). But the V710 are quite a bit less expensive. Again, I really want silver, so I think I can only go with the V710.
2. Weele size: 19x8.5 ET35. Can someone explain to me what the ET35 means? How does VMR know to recommend that?
3. VMR gave me 3 tire options. I'm not a "performance" driver. In fact, my wife does most of the driving with my kids. Also, we live in Portland, OR. So I want a good all season tire that will do good in the rain. It rarely snows here. And I don't need a high performance sport tire. Give that, can anyone recommend a tire for my needs? I've read good things about the Michelin MXM4.
3. If I go with a tire other than what VMR noted, will VMR need to know that? Will the wheel size or "ET" change based on my tire selection?
4. I was thinking of buying the tires locally (Tire Discount or Les Schwabb). I'd like to form a relationship with a local tire shop so I can get the benefits they offer to customers (tire rotations, fixing flats, etc.). Does that sound reasonable? Or is it best to order the whole package from VMR?
5. TPMS: I see these can be bought on Ebay for ~$120. So quite a bit cheaper than the VMR price. Am I better off ordering them on ebay and having the local shop install them along with the tires?
Sorry for all the questions, but this is all new to me. Thanks in advance for your input and patience!!

Suggest you get performance summer tires for the VMR wheels, and mount winter tires on your stock 18” wheels. I’m the OP, and I mention this in the first post in this thread. I’ve been very happy with that arrangement. It only takes 25 minutes to swap the wheels myself in my garage. Tires are designed for a specific temperature range. You’ll appreciate having the right tires for each season’s conditions.
Re TPMS: Suggest just going with VMRs. They’re delivering the full set to you ready to go on the car. You’ll probably end up paying more if you have all the pieces delivered separately and then have to find a shop near you to install the TPMS, mount and balance the tires. The TPMS sensors VMR use work great so far, no issues at all after 28k miles.
TDave, living in Portland, we get around 8 months of rain per year. Maybe 2 to 5 days of snow. So I hesitate doing a summer/winter tire setup. Because if it's a summer tire, I'd only get to have it on the car a few months out of the year.
Is there an in-between? A good "summer" tire that does well in the rain? And then I could put actual winter tires on for if/when we get some snow? Or are summer tires really only meant for dry warm weather?
