Will 19inch model S wheels fit a model 3

[CRACKLING ROSE]

Can any tell me if a 19 inch model S wheel will fit a model 3 please.
I want a spare wheel for my model 3 and a guy has one for sale for $200 New
Zealand dollars. Thanks

Nope, different wheel bolt pattern.

Yes - see attached my model 3 with Tesla original model S & X ‘Slipstream’ rims.

This is misleading. I am guessing you used spacers with a bolt pattern adapter to make them fit.

In short though; not worth it, especially not for a single spare.

They were drilled, you wouldn’t notice.
Fit like a glove

Just to be clear, you drilled out the wheels?

 

[Lindenwood]

Seems like a pretty critical detail to omit, no?

 

[UNCLETYS]

The wheel shop drilled them for me in less than 5mins. As I said fit like a glove
Point is you can put model S rims on your model 3..

A general observation; all wheels on your car must be exactly the same specification per axle, have the same wear and have similar inflation pressure. If wheels on an axle for significant lengths of time are significantly different it may mess up front to rear axle drive ratio electronics...

Yeah, so any rim that you could melt down, and cast a new one, technically fits model 3.

 

[Alpha Motoring]

Different bolt pattern, technically as someone said above you in theory can fill and redrill, safe and cost effective? That’s up to you. I wouldn’t.

 

[pdx_m3s]

Not worth it for a mediocre cast wheel.

Can you clarify what this entailed? I know the wheel shop did it, but curious

 

[UNCLETYS]

No. This was a ready made wheel for another car with a differing bolt pattern, not a completely new wheel in which you can create a bolt pattern on it, im being helpful, youre being a useless smart***

Yeah, so any rim that you could melt down, and cast a new one, technically fits model 3.

So no one ever figured this out?

What is there to figure out?

Not worth the hassle and safety concerns to redrill an OEM wheel IMO.

You are right. Was hoping someone would chime in that has used spacer adapters. Guess I will have to try it and get back to everyone.
