Tesla Model 3 18-Inch UP Forged UP-03 Wheel and Tire Package

For a daily driver, it is one of the smartest sizes. Eighteen-inch wheels run a taller sidewall than 19s or 20s, which cushions sharp impacts and shields the rim from curbs and potholes. They also trim rotating mass for quicker response and support efficiency. The forged UP-03 gives you that comfort and protection while keeping the strength and clean spoke look of a race-bred wheel.

Four square fitments. The 18×9 +20, 18×9 +33, and 18×9.5 +35 all bolt straight on with Tesla lug nuts and TPMS, no adapters needed. The widest, 18×10.5 +40, requires a 15 mm front spacer to fit properly. Most owners run one of the first three for daily use. Pick your fitment and finish at checkout, from Satin Titanium to Gloss Black.

A broad menu. The 245/45R18 sizes cover the BFGoodrich Advantage Control touring all-season, Bridgestone Potenza All-Season, Michelin Pilot Sport 4S summer, and Michelin X-Ice Snow winter tire. Step up to 265/40R18 for the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S, Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4, or Yokohama ADVAN Sport A/S+. The 245 width is a great daily baseline; 265 adds footprint for spirited driving.

Yes. All three standard UP-03 fitments are engineered for Model 3 applications including Performance, and they use factory hardware and TPMS directly. Keep in mind that some big brake kits will not clear an 18-inch wheel, so if your Performance car runs oversized rotors, confirm clearance with us first. For a stock-braked Performance Model 3, the 18-inch UP-03 bolts on cleanly.

Comfort, protection, and response. The taller 18-inch sidewall absorbs rough roads and guards the rim better than lower-profile sizes, and the lighter package helps the car step off and change direction with less effort. If you want a sharper, lower-profile look instead, the same wheel comes in 19-inch. For daily miles and bad pavement, 18 is the sweet spot.

Yes. Choose the 245/45R18 Michelin X-Ice Snow, a severe-snow rated winter tire with strong ice traction and calm highway manners, mounted on the forged UP-03. An 18-inch winter wheel and tire set is a common second set for Model 3 owners who see real snow, since the taller sidewall handles cold, broken roads well. Store your summer wheels and swap seasonally.

The forged UP-03 is developed from our motorsport program to deliver strength at low weight, and lower rotational mass helps the car accelerate and change direction with less effort. Cast OEM wheels carry more weight for the same strength. You feel the difference as a Model 3 that is lighter on its feet, especially at 18 inches where the wheel itself is smaller and lighter.

Yes, professional mounting and balancing are available at checkout, and the wheels arrive TPMS-ready to bolt on with factory hardware. The three standard fitments need no spacers, so it is a clean install. Set cold tire pressures correctly once torqued. On lowered cars, an alignment with modest negative camber can help tire life and preserve clearance on the wider fitments.

Yes. Forged 6061-T6 construction with proven racing DNA gives real impact resilience, and the taller 18-inch sidewall adds a cushion that helps shield the rim. It is built to be driven, not babied. For dedicated off-road builds Unplugged Performance offers beadlock options on other platforms, but for a Model 3 on broken pavement and the occasional rough road, this package handles it comfortably.

Different jobs. The UP-03 is a forged performance wheel with wide fitment and tire choices, from 245 daily tires to 265 grip setups. The 18-inch UP-RW package is a narrower 8.5-inch efficiency-focused wheel with a replaceable curb guard ring and Michelin winter or range tires. Pick the UP-03 for performance fitments, the UP-RW for maximum durability and range focus.

Unplugged Performance offers a comprehensive warranty on all parts and installations performed by our certified technicians. Warranty coverage applies to defects in materials and workmanship on items including lowering springs, coilovers, big brake kits, brake pads, stainless steel brake lines, shocks, and more. Should any covered part fail under normal use or display premature wear, we will repair or replace it at no additional cost—assuming the component was installed by us or at one of our authorized partners.

This warranty is valid for 2 years or 24,000 miles, whichever comes first, excluding consumable products like brake pads, rotors, and tires, starting from the installation date. Coverage extends to labor for warranty repairs when performed by Unplugged Performance or an authorized installer. It does not cover damage resulting from misuse, accidents, off‑road use, improper installation not done by us, or modifications that aren’t factory-approved.

To file a warranty claim, simply contact our service team. We’ll guide you through inspection, shipping (if needed), and repair or replacement logistics. transparencia and top-tier support are what you can expect from Unplugged.

Installing aftermarket parts does not automatically void your Tesla warranty. Under the Magnusson-Moss Warranty Act (www.sema.org/sema-enews/2011/01/ftc-validates-right-to-install-aftermarket-parts), a manufacturer cannot void your warranty simply because you installed aftermarket parts. Tesla must prove that the aftermarket part caused the specific failure in question to deny a warranty claim. UP recommends retaining all factory parts to allow reverting to stock if needed.
