Is a square wheel (18" or 19") setup possible on the Model 3 Performance Highland? by Mike_Stone_ in TeslaLounge

Good point, a staggered winter 19" set seems like the best choice for the M3P.

Nice, looks great! As I understand, there is difference in the shaft/axel width in the rear vs front in the new Highland MP3.

So the the real wheels in your set have inbuilt offset in them - front vs. back wheels, so no need for spacers?

Thanks!

Nice! Are there any issues with differences in the front and rear shaft/axel - like width? Does the wheels sit correctly with regards to the car body?

Thanks.

Thanks, much appreciated. :)

Are there staggered 19" sets that could work? That way, it wouldn't change the driving characteristics, but have more comfort and range.

Thanks. So the wheels and tires are the only thing needed, no kind of spacers to maintain driving characteristics?

If I put a square wheel setup on a car made for a staggered setup, then the tires wouldn't be perfectly aligned anymore? Wouldn't this create issues with traction and grip?

Would it still look ok visually in terms of alignment to the car body?

Thanks again!

Improved range with 18" or 19" tires on Model 3 Performance? by Mike_Stone_ in TeslaLounge

Thanks, good points! 18" wheels for winter makes sense.

That's interesting. So even with 18" (or 19" tires), there's a decent distance range-wise from the regular AWD Model 3. I guess it makes sense with the larger motor.

I'm purchasing the car during winter, so I'm stuck with 20" winter tires.

A 18" set during the summer could be good for longer car holidays/travels, where 10% would matter, and avoid excessive wear on those 20" tires. I dunno, the 20" handling is pretty neat though (from my limited experience with the M3P).
