Q: What tire size should I pair with a specific wheel size?

Wheel + tire sizing is a very common concern, and it can be intimidating to those who are unfamiliar with DOT tire size regulations. Regardless of what wheel and tire size you are considering, it is always best practice to try to keep the outer diameter of the tire close to the factory specification to mitigate any clearance issues, or alerts from the vehicle. Luckily, there are a variety of wheel and tire packages sold by Unplugged Performance that suite a variety of Tesla vehicle platform use cases, ranging from performance, comfort, and or range optimization, so most of the work has been done for you, If you are looking for further support on this topic, please check out our Wheel and Tire guide here: https://unpluggedperformance.com/tesla-wheel-and-tire-guide/

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.

Went with the burnt titanium, simply looks gorgeous with the finish.
Megatron November 19, 2025
I wanted to wait a few weeks before leaving my review to really see if there was a significant difference and it is a significantly better ride. I commute 70 miles a day on a fairly rough socal highway and the change is noticeable. Yes, you’re still going to feel the bumps but they are not as...

Very nice shirt that allows me to represent the best in Tesla aftermarket. Pleasure doing business and I look forward to working with UP forever.
Christian N. January 01, 2026
I have my model 3 performance and love it and now after adding these coil overs, can’t comprehend why these aren’t stock for tesla. These coil overs are amazing automagically felt like the car was on a cloud, handles great, and very smooth. Noise is reduced and can not believe I took this long...

Somewhat similar to the other reviews, these Luxury Coilovers are an amazing product, but may require a little fine tuning. The good news is that if you’re patient, the team at UPP will take great care of you. I initially placed an order for the Lux Coilovers for my 2021 LR MY in October. With...
johnpaul.sansone September 21, 2022
I installed these because with my previous set of UP lowering springs I really had uneven tire wear and it costed me a lot of tires. Installation was easy and the products look high quality. Let's see how the rubbers hold up. For now I used the same length as the original arms but made an alignment...
Jeroen W. May 26, 2023
WIFE APPROVED!!! I have a 2018 Model 3 LR AWD with the stock 18" wheels. I've always felt that the ride was a bit stiff and jittery with the stock suspension. Looking around for a solution, I came across coil-over kits which were expensive and I really didn't think I would need the adjustability...
Kameron May 06, 2024
While the overall weight reduction isn't much in totality, it is noticeably lighter compared to the original lug nuts.
Josh H. November 17, 2025
These wheels are insanely light and strong! And, they look the bomb! If I didn’t look while picking them up, I would have thought they are carbon fiber! The same spec as was originally used on the Bionic Phoenix Model 3 race car! I put in my fastest time at Buttonwillow on these wheels running...
