Tesla Model 3 18-Inch UP-RW Wheel and Tire Package

Eighteen-inch is the smart size for daily miles. You get more sidewall for comfort and rim protection, less rotating mass for snappier acceleration, and a forged wheel that shrugs off potholes better than heavy cast 19s or 20s. This package pairs the UP-RW Road Warrior 18×8.5 +32 with Michelin tires, mounted, road-force balanced, and shipped with TPMS installed so you bolt on and drive.

The UP-RW is a 5×114.3 bolt pattern with a 64.1 mm center bore, which matches the Model 3, running an 18×8.5 wheel at +32 offset. Those are the numbers that determine correct hub-centric fitment, and they are dialed for the platform here. The wheels use Tesla lug nuts and TPMS directly, so nothing extra is needed to mount them properly on your car.

Reducing wheel diameter and weight lowers rotational inertia and rolling losses, so the car uses less energy to get moving and to hold speed. That shows up as more miles per charge in stop-and-go driving and on rolling highways. The modern aero face of the UP-RW is shaped to work with Tesla efficiency, and the narrower 8.5-inch width keeps rolling resistance in check.

Two matched configurations plus a summer choice. The winter setup pairs the wheels with 245/40R18 Michelin X-Ice Snow, a studless winter tire that grips ice, packed snow, and slush while staying quiet on dry roads. The range-optimized setup uses 235/45R18 Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 for low rolling resistance, wet braking, and light-snow capability. A Michelin Pilot Sport 4S option is also available.

The narrower 8.5-inch width lets the OEM Tesla tire bulge slightly past the rim, creating a tire pillow that shields the wheel lip from curbs, unlike a flush or stretched fitment. And if you do scrape something, the integrated replaceable Curb Guard ring restores the look without replacing the wheel or removing the tire. It is a practical, cost-effective defense unique to the Road Warrior design.

Yes. Choose your vehicle year at checkout, 2017 to 2020 or 2020 to present, and the correct package ships. The UP-RW 18×8.5 +32 fitment is designed around the Model 3, and it comes with factory-spec TPMS installed for your car, either the 2017 to 2020 sensor or the Bluetooth type for 2021 and newer. It bolts on with Tesla lug hardware, no adapters.

Very quick. The package arrives with tires already mounted, road-force balanced, and TPMS installed, so the actual job is bolting four wheels on and torquing to Tesla spec. If you are near Los Angeles, our Hawthorne service center can fit them and check everything. Set cold tire pressures accurately before you drive, and have the torque rechecked after the first few hundred miles.

The 18-inch trades outright lower-profile looks for real daily advantages: more sidewall cushion, better rim protection, and less rotating mass. The forged construction takes hits that crack heavier cast wheels in larger sizes. If you want a slightly larger diameter, the 19-inch UP-RW package exists too. For a smooth, efficient, durable daily, the 18-inch is built exactly for that.

Satin Black with a Satin Gunmetal ring, a clean two-tone look that suits the Model 3 across paint colors. The finish is more than cosmetic since the ring is the replaceable Curb Guard component, so a curb scrape can be refreshed without refinishing the whole wheel. One finish keeps the decision simple while still giving the wheel a distinct, modern face on the car.

This is the turnkey 18-inch route with Michelin tires, mount, balance, and TPMS handled in one order. If you want to choose your own diameter or supply tires, the UP-RW Road Warrior wheel set of four sells the wheels on their own in 18, 19, or 20-inch. Buy this package for a complete winter or range setup; buy the set to build your own.

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.
