Q: What is the ideal tire size for a square setup on Model 3?
For a Tesla Model 3 square wheel and tire setup, the most “ideal” tire size depends on your goal (OEM-like efficiency, sportier grip, or track focus). Based on the UP-03 square fitment recommendations in your chart, here are the most common “ideal” square tire sizes for Model 3:
Best all-around square tire size for Model 3 (OEM+ feel and efficiency)
- 245/45R18 (for 18×9 square)
- 245/40R19 (for 19×9 square)
- 245/35R20 (for 20×9 square)
These 245-width tire sizes are the go-to choice if you want a square setup that keeps the Model 3 balanced and maintains range-friendly efficiency
Sport square setup (more grip, still street-friendly)
- 265/40R18 (for 18×9.5 square)
- 265/35R19 (for 19×9.5 square)
- 265/30R20 (for 20×9.5 square)
Street and track square setup (maximum performance focus)
- 275/35R19 (for 19×10 square)
- 275/30R20 (for 20×10 square)
- 285/35R18 (for 18×10.5 square)

I recently installed the these on my Cybertruck, and they’re absolutely fantastic! Made from tough carbon steel with a sleek black powder coat, they blend seamlessly with the truck’s design, looking like a factory upgrade. They came preinstalled on the rocker panels, so setup was a breeze,...

Great add on for your Tesla to really dial in the alignment! Great time to do it is when you’re lowering your car already or getting an alignment anyways. Improving tire wear is very important for me as I drive a lot and been getting more miles/set than ever before. Highly recommend!

Just installed the UP super performance lowering springs and they completely changed my car, the handling improvement is incredible, feels like it's on rails.

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 are a great set of wheels. I purchased them to replace my OEM 2024 M3P wheels. I went with the 19x9.5 in satin black. The wheels are very lightweight and durable. I wrapped them in Michelin Pilot Sport 4S summer tires. The wheels are great on the street for daily use and I have used them at...

I loved upgrading my front brakes to BFB Carbon, after a few track days and realized I want the rear as well, plus now the aesthetics are on point! (look weird with only the front carbon IMO)

Phenomenal brake pads. As my daily grocery getter and occasional spirited driving, yes these may be overkill for some but with how fast the M3P is you can't go wrong with better stopping power. I've had these pads since April and would highly recommend to anyone that does occasional track days...

Oh, wow; it is insane that one bar can dramatically alter the dynamics of the car. It is so much more planted and stable during those freeway maneuvers, which was the primary reason I bought the bar. The car is just solid at all speeds. Really solid. What is shocking is that the comfort levels seem...

Moto Miwa definitely made the right recommendation for the Moderate Lowering springs for my Model 3 Performance. They gave it the perfect balance between drop and functionality - good ride quality and no scraping. Also, in another conversation regarding tire wear, Moto suggested I purchase the...

Not a fan of the OEM rear look of the Model 3. This got me looking back at my car every chance I get! Better rear downforce as well. Feels much more confident around turns at high speeds.

Getting these installed along with the moderate version of the dual rate springs on my Model 3! Very excited and I cannot wait to see the new look and feel the significant difference.

On the track or not these sway bars make your car feel solid on turns. Immediately I noticed improved corner turns which is great! Highly recommend!

Should’ve been stock with all teslas, combined with a stiffer set of aftermarket coilovers, the car handles insanely well. I purchased this front and rear sway bar set along with end links for a standard range model 3. It makes such a huge difference, the car feels more planted especially entering...

Got a set of the 20x10.5 in Satin Black. They came shipped in very thick cardboard double-boxed with reinforced edges. The wheels were covered in a cloth cover too. Everything is in perfect condition, the wheels are beautiful. Can't wait to install them!

Paint match was perfect. Fit is perfect. It’s exactly what I was looking for, exceeded expectations.

Same as the fascia, this feels like a must-have Tesla upgrade. The stock Model 3 just doesn’t look the same anymore. I love the dry carbon material and would highly recommend. I wish the diffuser fins came standard, even with a higher cost. With some DIY, you can make the air ducts in the bumper...

This bumper is awesome for my Cybertruck! It’s built tough with A36 steel, looks killer with the black powder coat, and the optional 11-inch LED lights are super bright. It’s great for off-roading with a better approach angle and hi-lift jack points. Installation was easy with the video guide,...

This has been one of the best upgrades Ive made to my Plaid. Really makes the car much more stable at high speed, corners better, and there is no loss in comfort even in the stiffest setting.. Very happy with this bar!

Installed this on my CyberBeast in my own garage. The instructions provided were top notch with outstanding attention to detail. I installed the bar in the middle position. On the first turn I noticed the decrease in body roll. The turn in and mid turn stability is much improved. I am very...
