Wheel Spacers Fitment for Model X with factory 22inch Turbine Wheels

[T_Smarts]

Has anyone installed wheel spacers on their Model X with factory 22inch Turbine wheels? I searched and couldn't find any discussions on this. Would want to know the max offset before it begins to rub.

So far, I got information from a post that Unplugged made that 25mm front and rear will rub.

I measured myself and saw that 15mm in the rear and 20mm in the front may be doable without rubbing..

Want to hear to first hand experience. Please chime in if you have already installed wheel spacers on your Model X.

Thanks!

Sell the stock wheels.

Thank you for your reply. But not the answer I was looking for.

Anyone here installed spacers with factory wheels? Would love your input.

I’m not too sure, but I think the weight of the vehicle discourages manufactures of spacers from making something for the Model X. I do not think it is safe. Just a guess.

There are many out there. As long as it is hub centric it will be safe to use. Just want to see the max offset before rubbing

so I bought a set of spacers for my X100D running 22’s however haven’t installed them yet
Everything I’ve read says they’ll be fine

Would you be kind enough to share the size of spacers you purchased for your front and also your rears?

sure
5x120 = bolt pattern
14x1.5 = stud / thread
64.1 = hub diameter
1” = thickness

Please let me know if it rubs. According to Unplugged it apparently does.

never seen a model X with factory 22" with spacers -- my guess is it could be a nice subtle visual improvement

Any pics ?

Could you share whether or not the spacer installation went well? Looking to do the same.

 

[ALLMYNE]

I have them but haven't installed yet
Been somewhat busy and also I think I heard from TSportline that spacers cannot be used with exciting 22" Turbines
I guess one day hopefully soon I will get enough guts and time to make it happen

im curious as well.. if you got 1" spacers thats 25mm so they are surely bolt-on type which brings a question if back to Turbine wheel will clear the studs which may possibly protrude from the spacer, especially if back of turbine wheel is completely flat on the section outside of its bolt pattern.

I don't have a car yet to test but was thinking 15mm should clear no problem as most manufacturers are quite conservative when it comes to leaving extra room between tire and fender.. but would be nice to know what others have done already for those with 22" oem wheels.

I would either stick with oem 22" or may possibly go aftermarket with more aggressive offset to eliminate spacer but don't want to run wider wheels as I plan on sticking with stock tire sizes, so we will see what is out there.. found bunch of stuff with different bore which will work with hub-centric rings and not break the bank

not sure if you can see the fitment, but there’s no rub on 22x11 (I think 20-30 offset) and my car is lowered on adjustable links

Also, the factory 22's are probably some of the most beautiful rims for this car. Most aftermarket Tesla rim's I've seen look terrible and cheesy. I've yet to see better suited rims for Model X. If I find any, I'll be the first to buy them!

You must not be looking hard enough. There are a ton of wheels out there. Yes the stock turbines look nice but they aren't all that. They are also super heavy. Another reason I went aftermarket was to shave off 6-8lbs on each corner. IDK, I guess i am cheesy because I got my wife some aftermarket wheels too.

looks sharp. what size wheels and offsets? all of that will make a difference if spacers are needed/warranted.

i agree the stock 22" turbines are awesome wheels for the X. however, they are "tucked" in a bit more than i want too. however, i have the air suspension and there isn't much more aggressive of an offset i think the car can handle in "low" mode for there to be rubbing. so also curious to see what size spacers and what suspension makes for a solid fit. add to that clearance with the lugs can be an issue too when running too aggressive spacers.

To each their own, I'm sure your rims are much more efficient and handle better (since lighter) but I just don't think they look as nice as the Turbines. They scream "aftermarket" to me, not "designed with the car"

 

[Yoitskenn]

Agree, I was going for the "aftermarket-scream". Just wanted to be a little different.

Also, I wanted to widen the stance without having to use spacers.

Looks awesome man! Well done
