Q: What is the meaning of wheel offset?

Wheel offset refers to the distance between the wheel’s mounting surface (the area where the wheel attaches to the hub) and the centerline of the wheel. There are three types: positive, negative, and zero offset. The offset affects how the wheel sits in relation to the fender and suspension components.

I have a Tesla Model 3 LR but the rep at UP accidentally ordered the MY listing instead which is the same since both M3 and MY share most parts including struts. Purchased as the roads in DC just aren't very pleasant and combined with Tesla's stock struts, it's pretty horrendous. Delivery took...

We are loving our new UP Luxury Coilovers on our 2021 Model Y! The improvement is noticeable at level 8, the car handles bumps much more smoothly, and the handling seems to have improved as well. I worked primarily with Kirk and he was great. Very approachable and easy to talk to. He talked...

These nuts are awesome! So much lighter than the OEM and they look so much cooler. Reduces unsprung weight while looking cooler which is a win-win. I went with the burnt titanium finish which looks incredible and really adds some color to your wheels in a subtle way. Highly recommend.

Purchased these with the luxury coilovers but kept things at stock ride height. So far, everything is great!

I love the front ascension fascia! Really changes the whole look of the Model 3. My least favorite part of the car was the front bumper and this changed it all for me. Noticeable improvement in downforce as well which is a nice touch. Totally transformed the car and I couldn’t be happier. Also...
zackfeldstein9 September 24, 2022
This is by far the best front fascia out there and its makes the Model 3 look so much better! It gives it a much sportier look and I get comments on it all the time. One of the simplest upgrades that makes a huge difference as far as the look of the car goes. Couldn't be happier with how it looks....

WIFE APPROVED!!! I have a 2018 Model 3 LR AWD with the stock 18" wheels. I've always felt that the ride was a bit stiff and jittery with the stock suspension. Looking around for a solution, I came across coil-over kits which were expensive and I really didn't think I would need the adjustability...

Added these high quality RAC arm set to the D&S PRO coilover suspension lift kit. The ride is amazing after installation and alignment. Highly recommend.
