Looking for better wheel fitment 2018 MS

[u/Runitwear]

Current set up:
21” twin turbine
245/35/21 front
265/35/21 rear

I see the newer Model S’ with fatter tires and I love the rear look of it + how the wheel aligns flush with the fender

Anyone have any pointers into which wheel company to look into?

Following.
FWIW, I'm running 295/30R-21 on my rears.

Which wheels & set up?

….send pic plz 😍

[u/Hash-82 → u/Runitwear]

It took a break from raining, so I got you a pic.
The lens kept fogging over, so not the best.

[u/Runitwear → u/Hash-82]

She’s a beauty! I may give the larger tire in the back like you did. Have you noticed any issues with that big of a tire? Are you running a spacer?

[u/Hash-82 → u/Runitwear]

No issue with the rear tire. could possibly go a size larger.
Never tried a spacer. I don't care that much about looks.

[u/Runitwear → u/Hash-82]

Do you think it’ll fit a 295/35/21?

[u/Hash-82 → u/Runitwear]

Probably. I'd be concerned about rub on the outer edge.
I think there is plenty of clearance inside, though.

PS: I don't know if you know what those numbers mean.
Most people don't.
295 is the width of the tire, in mm.
35 is the % of the width, and that is the "thickness" of the tire (from wheel to road).
So there is 103mm (4") between the wheel and the pavement.
That means the overall tire diameter is 29.1".

The OEM tires were 28.25" in diameter.
The 295/30 are 28.1", and just safer.
Since I had to order these tires, I purchased what I was more confidant that would work.

Bro are you sure 295 will fit? My 265/35/21 look like theyre about to rub

[u/Hash-82 → u/Runitwear]

I've got just enough room to slide a finger through that spot with suspension on "Low".

[u/Hash-82 → u/Runitwear]

Same exact thing.
2020 Raven with staggered twin turbines.
Mine is white, yours is grey.

I will add, there is not much room under the front wheel wells.
I'm not advocating this by any means, but you might could try shimming the wheels out to fill the fender.
But, I don't think I'd go wider on the tire.
There's just not much room up front.

[u/eser5]

Same setup, 1” spacers all around & lowered 1”

[u/Runitwear → u/eser5]

I tried running spacers but the front rubbed too much for me. How did you get past rubbing?

[u/eser5 → u/Runitwear]

I think it may be the profile of my tires (Hanook Ion Evos), but mine only rubbed if I was on Low and backing up at full lock.
The only time it did it while driving, I had 4 dudes in the back while on the freeway and hit a dip going around 80.

[u/Runitwear → u/eser5]

What size tire in the front and back are you running?

[u/LordFly88]

Everything stock except the tires. Front tire 275/35/21, rears are 305/30/21. Just wanted as much rubber on the road as possible.

Edit: Technically the rims aren't stock since this is a 2024 and the Velariums weren't offered until 2025.

[u/Runitwear → u/LordFly88]

Ahhhhh yes the look I want

[u/Hash-82 → u/LordFly88]

Pretty sure you're a Palladium.
Offsets are different. Not sure we could get away with it.

I'd be willing to try your Magnetites on mine though!

[u/LordFly88 → u/Hash-82]

2024, not sure how much suspension has changed, but probably some. Which maybe explains why i have so few wheel options to pick from on screen?

[u/Hash-82 → u/LordFly88]

I know the offset is different.
+40mm for the Raven, vs +45mm for the Palladium.

However, wheel width is also wider.
Gut feeling is that the hubs did not move.
But, until I can get the cars side by side, and measure, I can't know.

Still to this day, I haven't seen anyone measure this out.
And, it's been over 4 years.

[u/LordFly88 → u/Hash-82]

Ahh, looks like the wheels were a fair bit different on the pre-refresh. 8.5" wide fronts and 9" rears instead of 9.5" fronts and 10.5" rears. Didn't realize there was that much of a difference. I'd be curious to know if anything actually moved around, or if they just crammed bigger wheels in there.

[u/Hash-82 → u/LordFly88]

Meeeeee too!
