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 purchased the UP-03 Race Spec Wheels for my Tesla Model 3 from Unplugged Performance. Although the wheels look great and undoubtedly enhance the driving experience, I encountered a few issues during the process.
Firstly, I was not informed that I would need spacers for the UP validated...

I received my Model Y in October of 2020. After watching many many YouTube videos I was expecting the Model Y suspension to be rough, it was. Some of the videos mentioned unplugged performance. I was willing to invest the money anticipating a dramatic change just like the YouTube videos I watched....

Tesla Model S / Plaid (2012+) UP x Koenigsegg Collaboration Carbon Fiber Long Tail Trunk Spoiler
RATED 5.0
This spoiler has a perfect balance. It isn't as subtle as the OEM performance Teslas, yet not comically large. A fitting addition to the Plaid! Great design as is to be expected from Koenigsegg.
Slight efficiency gains at high speeds as well.

Tesla Model 3 Front Lip Spoiler
RATED 5.0
I really like how understated this lip is. It blends in perfectly with the existing bumper but you can still tell there is something unique about your car when it's installed. I have a grey model 3 and purchased the painted one. Although the site says it's not the exact same as the factory color, I...

Excellent product! I installed mine as my first step into getting some more performance out of my M3P for Autocross. The front and rear sway bars along with some wider wheels and stickier tires really took my lap times to the next level. I would say, if you drive hard with these sway bars like I...

Worth every penny. The iron BFB is one of my favorite things I’ve done to my car so far. Brakes are one of the most important things on a car and I notice such an improvement with these over stock brakes. On track I am able to brake much later into corners and the brakes have basically zero fade...
