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'm currently putting together my custom UP INVINCIBLE® kit from Unplugged Performance with the help of Frank, and the transformation is insane. The lineup includes the HD Front Bumper with the optional 11-inch LED light bar that absolutely lights up the night, the bulletproof Heavy Duty Rear...

Excellent product from a great team with great customer service!
The factory Model 3 Performance's suspension is rather underwhelming, so once you add the Dual Rate Linear Springs along with the Sway Bar kit and Luxury Suspension Kit it completely transforms the car!
UP also stands by their product...

My 2024 performance already has coilovers and every camber, trailing and traction arm you can buy front and rear and the compression rod bearing but still wasn't happy with bodyroll, after I put these on the stiffest setting it helped a lot and still very smooth on the street nothing to crazy I'd...

Excellent fitment, packaging, and overall product. The stock bar compared to UP's is no comparison. Installed on medium setting and will be changing it to the stiffest this weekend, which is extraordinarily easy to do.

Got the Street/Track version for my 2022 Performance 3 and couldn't be happier with them. I combined them with the Moderate Lowering Springs and this combo is perfect. The turn in is quicker and with the reduced body roll it makes the handling now better match the acceleration abilities of the 3. ...

I always hated how my Model Y would sway side to side at high speed on the highway when the road conditions were poor, even with the coil overs I wanted a little more stiffness and this fixed the problem, now it feels more like a Porsche/BMW M.

The pictures on the website does not do justice. the wheels look extremely beautiful. Kirk was extremely helpful, and coordination was amazing. My wheels are gloss black, not able to add a picture to the review if not would do it. I went with slightly bigger wheels 20x10.5 front and 20X11 back. ...

Great complement to my Model Y's coil overs and sway bar set up. Significant handling improvements overall. Best of all, these camber arms give me the peace of mind of not worrying about uneven tire wear after dropping my ride height 1 inch. Car looks and feels great on the road.

I bought my spoiler as soon as my new Model 3 2021was delivered to Vancouver in March 2021. A friend of mine had suggested getting this one specifically and when we added it to my new white Tesla with its dark glass roof-and my extra tinted windows this Black Carbon spoiler added a perfect finishing...

These are best brakes I’ve ever experienced on any car! Like Randy Pobst said, just looking at these brakes gives confidence. In practicality, they work so well on the street with instant bite and heavy stopping power. Check out this post of my Tesla Performance Model 3 stopping from 60Mph in 2...
