Some builds hit that sweet spot where the stance is clean, the details are intentional, and the whole setup looks ready for anything. That is exactly what happened when we set up a Diamond Black 2026 Tesla Model Y with a fresh set of UP Forged UP-03 Forged Wheels and Falken Wildpeak Trail tires, then took it out for a quick off-road excursion while we waited for our friends in Cybertrucks to finish charging during our UP-RW Cyber Wheel Range Test.
The wheel spec on this Model Y is a 19×9.5 ET35 square fitment, which means the same wheel and tire setup at all four corners. It is one of our favorite configurations for a do-it-all Model Y because it delivers a planted look, a balanced stance, and real-world flexibility for the way customers actually drive. On the road, the car feels composed and confident. Off the pavement, it looks the part without trying too hard.
Paired with Falken Wildpeak Trail tires, the whole package takes on a new personality. The tread and sidewall design add an aggressive, off-road-inspired look that still feels right for daily driving. It is that perfect “adventure-ready but still street-friendly” vibe, where the Model Y looks tougher without becoming impractical.
What we love most is how complete the fitment feels. The UP-03 Forged Wheels sit exactly where they should, giving the Model Y a purposeful stance with zero drama. No wheel spacers are needed, and the setup clears Tesla brake calipers confidently. This is the kind of wheel and tire combo that looks finished the moment it is installed, but also hints at what the build could become next.
Because the truth is, this combo is a gateway to something bigger. Want more ride height and a more capable trail stance? Add our leveling lift kit for additional clearance and a stronger off-road posture. Want to go further down the rabbit hole? Explore our off-road and overlanding packages built to transform the Model Y into a true adventure platform, whether your goal is desert trails, mountain roads, or weekend exploring with your crew.
And if you are wondering about daily usability, you are good. Full Self-Driving functionality is fine with this setup, and the square configuration keeps things consistent and predictable.
At Unplugged Performance, we build for every kind of Tesla owner, from subtle upgrades to full transformation projects. The UP-03 Forged Wheels are available in multiple fitments, so whether you are chasing a clean street stance, an all-terrain look, or a more specialized setup, we can spec it the right way. However you want to build your Model Y, we are here to support it and follow along on your journey.
