Product Details
Unlock everyday comfort, durability, and value with our 18-inch UP Forged UP-RW aka Road Warrior wheel and tire packages for the Tesla Model Y. Dropping to an 18-inch diameter increases sidewall for a smoother ride, better impact compliance on rough pavement, and added rim protection, while our forged UP-RW construction keeps strength high and weight low. Every bundle arrives mounted, balanced, and TPMS-equipped so you can bolt on and drive.
Why UP-RW for Model Y
UP-RW Road Warrior wheels are engineered for real-world use. Forged 6061-T6 aluminum provides high load capacity for EV duty, and the modern aero-forward face is shaped to play nicely with Tesla efficiency. The 18×8.5 +32 spec is tailored for Model Y clearances and OEM hardware. A replaceable Curb Guard ring helps defend against curb rash and can be swapped if it gets scuffed. Finish is a durable two-tone satin that resists chips and UV fade.

Do smaller 18-inch wheels really give a Model Y a better ride?
Yes. An 18-inch wheel runs a taller sidewall, and this package uses a 55-series tire that adds real cushion between the rim and the road. That extra sidewall absorbs sharp impacts, keeps handling stable and predictable, and lowers the risk of bending a rim on rough pavement. On the Model Y it is the comfort-and-durability sweet spot. The forged UP-RW wheel underneath keeps strength high while the diameter drop does the smoothing.
Which tire should I pick in the 18-inch UP-RW package?
It depends on climate and priorities. The BFGoodrich Elite Force 245/55R18 is the street all-season pick for quiet highway manners and long life. The Hankook iON evo AS 235/55R18 is the range-focused option, with a narrower width and an XL 104W rating for low rolling resistance and a 50,000-mile warranty. Michelin X-Ice Snow 235/55R18 is the true winter choice, Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake rated. There is also a BFGoodrich Advantage Control 255/55R18 touring all-season.
Does the 18-inch UP-RW package fit every Model Y trim, including 2026 Juniper?
It fits all years and trims. UP lists the 2020 to 2025 Long Range AWD, Long Range RWD, and Performance, plus the 2026+ Long Range AWD, Long Range RWD, and Performance. The 18×8.5 +32 wheel with a 5×114.3 bolt pattern and 64.1 mm center bore is tailored for Model Y clearances and OEM hardware. Whichever Model Y you drive, this package is engineered to bolt on.
Is the Hankook iON evo AS in this package rated for heavy snow?
No. The Hankook iON evo AS is an EV-tuned all-season built for low rolling resistance, quiet running, and long wear, with all-season confidence for commuting and highway travel, but it is not severe-snow rated. It is best for mild climates and year-round street driving. If you regularly see ice and packed snow, choose the Michelin X-Ice Snow option in this same package instead, which carries the winter certification.
Does this 18-inch package come mounted and balanced?
Yes. Every set is assembled by our service technicians, road-force balanced, and shipped with Black Bluetooth TPMS installed for 2021 and newer Model Y, so it arrives ready to bolt on. You skip the trial-and-error of sourcing tires and booking a mount separately. From there it is a driveway or wheel-shop install with a torque wrench, or our Hawthorne team can handle the fitting if you are nearby.
Will 18-inch wheels help my Model Y’s range?
They can, especially with the right tire. The narrower 235-width Hankook iON evo AS option is built specifically to lower rolling resistance, and the forged UP-RW wheel keeps weight down while its aero-forward face is shaped to work with Tesla efficiency. Smaller diameter and lighter rotating mass generally help around town. If maximum range is the goal, that range-focused tire pairing is the one to choose here.
What makes the UP-RW wheel worth it over a cheaper cast 18-inch wheel?
The UP-RW Road Warrior is forged from 6061-T6 aluminum, which gives it high load capacity for EV duty and much better resistance to cracking than cast wheels. It also carries a replaceable Curb Guard ring, so a curb scuff means swapping a ring rather than replacing the wheel. The durable two-tone satin finish resists chips and UV fade. You pay more upfront and spend less on bent-rim replacements down the road.
How does the 18-inch package compare to the 19-inch UP-RW for daily driving?
The 18-inch is the comfort and value leader: taller sidewall, smoother impacts, most rim protection, and the strongest range case. Stepping up to the 19-inch UP-RW package sharpens steering response and looks a touch more filled-out, at a small cost in ride plushness. For potholed roads and long commutes, 18 wins. For a firmer, sportier feel, go 19.
What exactly is included when this package ships?
Four 18×8.5 +32 UP-RW forged wheels, four tires in the package you chose, professional mounting and road-force balancing, and Black Bluetooth TPMS for the Model Y. In short, a complete corner-ready set. The wheels come in satin black with a satin gunmetal ring. All you provide is the install, whether that happens in your own driveway or at our Hawthorne facility.
Will putting aftermarket wheels on my Model Y affect the factory warranty?
Bolting on a properly fitted wheel and tire package does not by itself void Tesla’s coverage. The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act means Tesla has to connect a specific failure to the aftermarket part before refusing that repair. Since these wheels use OEM-spec mounting and factory tire sizes, they are a clean fit. Hold onto your original wheels, and you can always put the car back to stock if a situation ever calls for it.
What does the Unplugged Performance product warranty cover?
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.
Will installing Unplugged Performance parts void my Tesla warranty?
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.
What are the shipping options and times?
Unplugged Performance processes orders quickly, typically within 1–2 business days after placement. For U.S. customers, orders under $50 usually ship via FedEx SmartPost with an estimated delivery time of 2–7 business days. Larger items like body kits or bumpers may ship via freight carriers with curbside delivery; customers will be contacted to schedule a delivery window. International shipping is available to most countries, with shipping costs calculated at checkout. Delivery times abroad vary, generally ranging from 5 to 16 business days depending on destination. Import duties or taxes are the customer’s responsibility. To ensure a smooth shipping experience, provide accurate contact information during checkout. For specific questions or shipping quotes, Unplugged Performance’s support team is available to assist.
