Newbie/Rookie MYP Wheel replace question

[Eljay2]

Hello everyone! I'm a new Tesla owner (gray 2023 MYP) and I'm looking forward to being involved with this forum!

I'd be extremely grateful if someone here could help me with a very rookie question that I can't seem to find the answer to. I would like to replace the 21" Uberturbine wheels with something smaller, 19" or 20" while maintaining the Uberturbine look. I also need something that would fit the Cross Climate 2 tire. Does anyone have thoughts on this, and also regarding 19" vs 20". 21"s just aren't great for MI snowy winters.

Thanks in advance!

Eljay

I apologize for the amateur questions, but can you please help me to understand the "I would get the 19x8.5 tho if using stock 255/45R19 tires to have some tire wall to protect the rim/wheel from curb rash. 255 wide tires on 19x9.5 don’t have much rubber over the rim like on the stock set up." part? If the wheel is the same size (19in), then why does the width of the wheel (8.5 vs 9.5) impact how much side wall (rubber over the rim) I see?

If I use the wheel below, which tire size would I need for the 8.5in and which tire size would I need for the 9.5in? Totally new to this so appreciate the patience!

I think I got it figured out! Thanks! How is the quality of the TSportline wheels compared to OEM?

I bought 2 sets of wheels from then, 19” and 20” TST for Model 3 in 2020. They are good quality. I don’t have any experience on their newer wheels.

Thanks! As I want to sell my 21" Uberturbines complete, do you have any idea where to get an accurate Tesla center cap for the after market wheels?

I bought from Amazon, from those with good reviews, just make sure you have the correct bore size for your wheel. Which wheels are you getting?

 

[Eljay2]

The Tsportline ones you suggested. 8.5in 19s. Just need a matching matte black center cap that looks identical to the Tesla one.

I’d still go with amazon for $20 vs $50 from OEM or like from Abstract Ocean. Return is easy on Amazon if not fitting/matching the shade accurately.

Appreciate it!

I bought the Tesla caps from TSportline. Perfect match. I tried Amazon caps and they were very poor quality.

This setup is exactly what RoBoRaT recommended. Quality is good. Tires are CCS2.

I am talking about the tire width over the width of the wheel. 255 mm width tire will have more tire to protect the edge of the 8.5 inch wide wheel than over 9.5 inch wide wheel.
TSportline have the correct 255 mm tire size for 9.5 in or 8.5 in wheel of your choosing.
