Continental CrossContact LX25,
245/60 R18
(Note- i don’t have space-time-energy to have two sets of tires so this is a good all season balance for me. They seem quieter than OEM but maybe it’s placebo effect, or maybe it’s that i’m driving like grandma obsessing over my SafetyScore this week).
Wheels are 18x8.5 +35mm (Rotary forged Black Rhino ). I could have used a model 3 aero wheels too. new wheels are lighter than OEM, but tires are more heavy and they balance each other out.
Here’s my
before and after wheels and tires on WillTheyFit. wheels and tires add 0.75” (19.5mm), plus minus some squishiness i guess.
Add the MPP Lift Kit 1.75” for a theoretical 2.5” rise. it is quite noticeable- i need to scoot “up” onto my seat when getting in the car, and i am 6’ tall.
Added the MPP Arrastradero adjustable camber arms to keep rear camber at a good angle.
Tesla advertises the default clearance as 6.6 inches which I doubt. i’m kicking myself for not having measured it empirically before the changes to have true before after measurements. Show me a picture of a measurement you want me to take and will happily replicate it. Note my baseline is a MY AWD with Gemini.
