Q: Do I even need spacers if I run Unplugged Performance forged wheels?
Often not. UP forged wheels are designed with optimized offsets for each Model 3 and Model Y, so they usually sit flush with the fenders without extra parts. Spacers exist mainly for owners on factory wheels or other aftermarket wheels who want to dial in fitment, avoid rubbing, or create brake clearance. If you are on OEM wheels, that is exactly the case they cover.
