New Wheel Setup

What size and what wheels?

Cool. I like it 👌🏼👌🏼

Tesla 18" Aero Wheels taken from my Model 3 255/55/18 All Terrain Tires (this is the biggest you can go with no rubbing on stock suspension) 20mm Wheel Spacers

Forgot to mention the spacers are not needed. I just added for a wider look.

Fucking fierce. I love 18s. I also love those pre-refresh Model Ys.

Wish I could get some 18s here in the UK, looks great

Why can you not get 18s there?

I think lack of demand maybe? Everyone iv spoken to has told me the smallest you can go on Y is 19… which I know obviously isn’t true! Only option iv been able to find is importing some in but then it’s costing me double after shipping and taxes

how's the noise?

I’m all for larger sidewalls for a better ride and less possibility of potholes busting tires, but why AT’s? Seems like they would be less efficient and loud.

Went with 235/60/18 myself.

Screw the noise, I am curious about the huge hit in range. Just why

Yes, have you seen how cool they look?

looks awesome, but best get some mud flaps, that paint be chipped in no time!

where'd you buy them?

What spacers did you et? They look awesome.

Not everyone that gets an EV cares about the range. There's also the convenience factor, power torque and smooth factor. That being said, the range probably dropped by 20%. Thats how much i loss on y hybrid.

Looks super cool!! I would double check on the load rating- if the Model 3 you took the wheels from is pre-2021, the load rating’s 700kg which is less than what is required for Model Ys (min. 750kg)

I think there would be a good size market for a hybrid on road/off road tire with an aggressive look. Right now I am on Firestone Destination LE3 and they look like they belong on a Camry.

If OP cared about range, they wouldnt be driving with the roof racks on.

If OP cared about range, he would not be driving this car to begin with lol. My juniper launch is amazing but the range really leaves a lot to be desired.

Purrrrrdy + I agree with mud flaps

Yeah what's the range like? I have at on my 06 explorer. We look at a model y recently and decide to get a better one. But it is very interesting!! The tires are amazing in ohio winters

Surprisingly quiet (not as quiet as stock). I was afraid of this buying the most inexpensive tires I could find online.

Still testing this. We'll see how bad or good it turns out to be. I'll keep you posted.

I honestly done care about the range it's all just preference at this point. But I agree with you haha

Yeah looking into it now

Agreed!!! Looking into it

Agreed. It's all just preference. Using this as my camping/outdoors vehicle. Still have the Model 3 to take on my road trips.

Honestly I haven't even noticed a 1% difference with the roof rack on vs off. And my daily commute used to be 132 miles per day.

It looks fantastic! You did a good job.

Still testing this out. I'm sure there's going to be a drop. Just not sure what that is right now. Keep you posted.

To each their own

Are you gonna add a lift kit?

people that have 21 inch performance wheels also do this swap and they gain 8-12% more range lol

stock suspension you say the performance model y legacy has a lowered suspension right? what would the tire sizes be for that one, do you have any idea?

You are gonna need a ton of validation here to feel good about that look

And trucknutz

the new Tesla low cost ('standard') comes with 18's that said don't assume any 18 will fit Warning on 18s: yes you get better ride but have to accept less road noise, longer tire wear, less change of damage and must live with longer range

Looks classy definately complimenting the body colour

How's the ride quality? I'm considering getting some 18" wheels on 235/55 size tires coming from stock 19" wheels/tires.

Nice color. Love the beefier tires wheels look great 👍🏻

How exactly does a 320/350 mile range leave a lot to be desired? That’s over 200 miles per day charging to 80% including a safety margin.

From another Model Y owner that goes camping often, those tires look damn great. Also thinking about switching to 18s. I don't get the fuss with people not liking another person's mods. Everyone has different tastes and needs

I did the exact same setup on mine and got hit with 5% less. Not as drastic as people may think. MYP 2020

I mean, people who are asking will care since theyre penny pinching their range.

I went with forged 18x8.5 rims from Atomic Wheels and the same size 255/55/18 ice-x for Chicago winters, I get the same or slightly better winter range than summer range with the 21” uberturbines…

For the MYP with 18” rims you can go 245/55 or 255/55, the first will be a hair smaller diameter than stock tires on a 21” uberturbine, the second is about 1/4” larger diameter and _just_ fits.

I just talked with the Tesla service center and they told me I have to respect the document EC CERTIFICATE OF CONFORMITY that I received with my car and there’s only 21 inch and 20 inch so 18 inches is not listed. I mean technically I can run 18 inches but Tesla can refuse any suspension issues drivetrain issues if I have it later on I live in Belgium with a lot of potholes so I don’t wanna risk my suspension or drivetrain. I would rather change my wheels that I’m gonna buy. I’m good. I think I’m gonna go 20 inch with the maximum possible tire. Uberturbine: 1: 1636 mm 2: 1636 mm : Axle 1: 255/35R21, 98W - 21x9.5J 40mm of f set - C1 Class C Axle 2: 275/35R21, 103W - 21x10.5J 48mm of f set - C1 Class C Optional tire: Axle 1 and 2: 255/40R20 101W - 20 x 9.5J 45mm

Only came here to say it looks great! Would agree with everyone here about the mud flaps and maybe some PPF near the wheels. How do they feel at higher speeds and turns?
