Did you also put 5mm spacers on the rear wheels as well in these photos?Setup in photos is 255/40/19 with 19x9+35mm wheel plus 5mm spacers. I am using the spacers as a temporary simulation of what the wheel/tire location will be when I switch to aftermarket brake rotors. Stock P3D+ rotor hat is only 2mm thick, while aftermarket rotor hat is 7mm. The car is at stock height in the photos, and the front tire is borderline on pokey. I will be lowering the car by 30mm, which will pull the top of the tire inward due to the suspension geometry.
I’ve been modding cars for 20+ years. My own experience tells me all the mod I’m doing isn’t going to cause any significant premature wear that shortens the lifespan significantly. I tend to replace wear and tear parts way before every last bit of life is squeezed out of them.
Just want to share my own actual experience.View attachment 375442View attachment 375443View attachment 375444View attachment 375445
Firstly, the P3D weighs less than 4,100lbs. Secondly, spacers don't change the "weight distribution", they change the scrub radius of the suspension.
As for the OP:
If you stay with ~8mm or less, you shouldn't have any negative effects. Going with something aggressive like 20mm+ will change the suspension geometry and likely shorten wheel bearing life. It will also hurt range due to more aero drag from the wheels being pushed out.
I'm currently running these 3mm spacers to clear the hub lip on my P3D. Personally, I'd recommend changing offsets with aftermarket wheels as opposed to spacers if you can.
One more picture here from me. Side by side comparison of no spacer to 5 mm spacer.

I just bought some original Tesla model 3 19inch Sport-wheels for my Model 3 Performance for the winter. Although I think they have the extra cut-away for the hub-lip,
So i'm looking for 3mm spacers to correct this. Would I need other bolts for the 3mm spacers? Or is it okay to use the original bolts?
Do you think 3 mm spacers will be enough? Thinking if running the exact same setup as youSetup in photos is 255/40/19 with 19x9+35mm wheel plus 5mm spacers.

What's it called when the tires stick out past the wheels themselves like in your pictures? I've seen it on someone's Porsche, too. Does that also help prevent curb rash? Thinking about getting tires like that soon, if so I could probably remove the wheel bands I currently have.Setup in photos is 255/40/19 with 19x9+35mm wheel plus 5mm spacers.
