Wheel bolt hole pattern on X - Same as Model S?

[Drucifer]

I have winter and summer tires for my Model S. I carry a spare from the non-seasonal set in the frunk as a spare tire.

I was thinking about ordering Model X, but with 1 set of All Season tires. Could I use another wheel from the Model S "out of season set" as a spare for Model X?

I don't think anyone knows with 100% certainty yet.

I would bet it does though. Especially considering Elon had what looked to be S 21's on his X at the reveal.

I anticipate if they indeed do match up, that there will be a market for X 20s on the S given how often others have wished there were Tesla 20s available.

In my honest opinion. I do swear that it will be the same. If not I'll buy dinner at the next meet on first Friday in Charlotte SC

Unless I'm missing something, I'm pretty sure the total diameter of the wheel + tire is larger on the X than the S, so your spare tire wouldn't even touch the ground, or else the car would drive very funny.

Yes, it is confirmed that the Model S and X wheel offset and bolt pattern is the same.
Only the specific tires sizes are different - see the referenced thread for more details:

The 20" wheels have front tires in size 265/45-20 and rear tires in size 275/45-20.

Maybe I'm late to the game here, but I'm a bit surprised that they'd use different sizes front vs. rear, so that you can't rotate tires. Maybe I was just burned too many times by the early Model S suspension issues.

Good point on the tire rotation issues. You could always put a set of the front wheels on the rear of the car as some Model S owners did.

Anybody know if my set of snow tires/wheels that I use on my Model S (stock 19" Tesla wheels) will work on the Model X? Love to save a few $$ by not having to buy a second set of wheels/tires for the X. Thanks!

The bolt pattern will be the same between the two models. Smaller wheels will make the X ride lower. If you have the air suspension on your future X you could compensate for that.

Also keep in mind that the overall diameter of the X wheels/tires will be larger than that of the S so your speedometer and odometer will be affected. Unless they can update the settings in the car computer at the service center.

Thanks for the info!

I think the speedometer may be calibrated via GPS. I have put on different circumference tires and the speedometer is deadly accurate when checked with other GPS devices. I have always been a little amazed at how accurate it is across all speed ranges.
