Dear fellow Tesla ethusiasts,
Ater lurking in the shadows for a couple of days, I decided to register an account to ask my first question as a new Tesla MS owner.
Long story short, after saving up I was finally able to buy a used Tesla Model S P90D (late 2015) a couple of days ago - even got it $2000 below asking price
So far I really love the car, but as stated in the thread title, I could really use your help with the following:
This car came with 21" turbine wheels (245 square), which are in really bad shape (hence the $2K discount).. However, I found a guy selling the following rims online, which I really like, and for a very good price...
So far I tried to do some due diligence and went through many threads on this foru. Based on my learnings, I think they will fit (without the tires at least), but before I buy them, I want to make sure if its a good option for my car.
If I understand correctly, the square wheel set up is something that Tesla tried for a while, but decided to go back to a staggered set up. However, if it is not a huge disadvantage, I would prefer the ability to rotate tires with a square set up.

The wheels come from a Range Rover Sport.
Condition is used but they are well maintained, without any damage and or repairs.
21"
9j
ET 30
center bore 72.6
Currently they are on tires + 4 TPMS (I think the tires wont fit and the TPMS probably wont work, but I can try to sell them)
Michelin Latitude
275/45R21 110Y
So my questions:
1. Am I right, that these rims (with different tires) will probably fit?
2. I fancy a bit of a stretched tire (looks), instead of a straight side wall. Which summer tires (especially size) would you recommend me? (I have no experience here, but I read that some tires are actually wider etc.)
Many thanks in advanced!
