Tesla Model Y UP-03 Beadlock Off-Road Spec Forged Wheels
Developed specifically for the Tesla Model Y, the UP-03 Beadlock Off-Road Spec forged wheel is engineered for extreme off-road applications while maintaining street-legal, daily drivability. Produced in aerospace-grade forged aluminum for maximum strength, the wheel is designed to allow for true beadlock functionality in off-road applications or can be run without the beadlock at all for street driving.
- True Beadlock design and functionality, these are not faux bolts on the outer rim
- Two Mounting options: tire bead inside wheel rim for street use, and tire bead outside of rim for off-road use with beadlock applied.
- Beadlock rim can be run in street-legal application
- Designed and developed for use with Tesla factory center caps, lug nuts and TPMS sensors
- Produced in Aerospace-grade Forged Aluminum
Recommended tire size: 255/55R18 (overall diameter is 29″, 1″ taller than factory-spec tires)
*Note: Oversized tires can cause rubbing on fender liners, suspension or chassis components
At the heart of these groundbreaking wheels is a uniquely engineered design that allows for two different tire mounting methods. For full beadlock capability, the tire’s bead is mounted on the outside of the wheel’s rim and is locked in place using titanium hardware to secure the beadlock ring to the wheel allowing for low tire pressure applications in off-road settings. Conversely, the tire’s bead can be mounted inside the wheel’s rim, with or without the beadlock ring in place, for traditional mounting for DOT-compliant highway and daily driving use. Therefore, the wheel can deliver the best of both worlds for off-road and overlanding enthusiasts.
Enhanced Off-Road Capability: Using the wheel’s beadlock mounting method allows for its tire pressure to be reduced to as low as 5 psi to increase the size of the tire’s contact patch resulting in maximum traction in challenging off-road situations.
DOT-Compliant for Highway Use: When the tire bead is mounted inside of the wheel’s outer rim, it transforms into a standard wheel, fully compliant for legal highway use — a level of versatility unseen in typical beadlock wheels.
Forged for Strength: Like Unplugged Performance’s standard UP-03 wheel, the UP-03 Beadlock wheels are crafted from the same high-strength forged aluminum for maximum lightweight durability, maintain the same I-beam spoke design for added strength, and the same barrel knurling to reduce tire slip, ultimately, ensuring they can withstand the most challenging off-road adventures while maintaining on-road comfort and range.
Form Meets Function: The UP-03 offers authentic beadlock style with the benefit of true beadlock functionality. This is not to be confused with a beadlock-style wheel that simply offers the looks or a beadlock wheel though falls short on any beadlock functionality or benefits. Additionally, this wheel is designed and engineered to be a direct fit for the Tesla Model Y allowing the use of Tesla factory lug nuts, center caps, and TPMS sensors.
Here is a visual of the two mounting options:
Non-Beadlock for street use – You can see the tire bead is mounted inside the wheels rim with no dependency on the beadlock ring.
Beadlock Mounted – Here you can see how the tire’s bead is mounting outside the wheel’s rim and is secured in place by the beadlock ring.

Are these strong enough for serious off-road abuse?
They share the same high-strength forged aluminum and I-beam spoke architecture as the standard UP-03, down to the barrel knurling, and that wheel has a hard-earned durability record. The beadlock adds low-pressure capability on top of that foundation. Forged construction resists the bending and cracking that catches out cast wheels on rocks and ruts.
What pairs well with these for a Model Y overland build?
A lift helps you use the clearance these wheels and taller tires unlock. Our Stage 2 Trailhead Pro suspension and the Overlanding and Offroad package are built around exactly this kind of setup. Match tire diameter to your ride height so you keep clearance without rubbing under articulation.
Running these on a 2026 Juniper for trail use, anything I should check first?
It is developed specifically for the Tesla Model Y and uses Tesla factory center caps and lug nuts with your TPMS sensors for a direct fit. Fitment is built around the Model Y platform rather than a universal bolt pattern. If you are on a 2026 Juniper, confirm your exact configuration with us before ordering, since off-road fitment and tire clearance are worth verifying for your specific car.
What does a beadlock wheel actually do for off-roading?
A beadlock clamps the tire bead to the outside of the rim with a bolt-on ring, so the tire cannot slip off the wheel when you drop pressure. That lets you air down to as low as 5 psi to grow the contact patch for traction on rock, sand, and mud. The UP-03 Beadlock uses a true, functional beadlock with titanium hardware, not the cosmetic fake bolts you see on many wheels.
Are these beadlock wheels street legal?
Yes, and that is the clever part. Mount the tire bead inside the rim, with or without the beadlock ring fitted, and the wheel behaves as a standard DOT-compliant wheel for highway and daily use. Mount the bead outside the rim with the ring torqued down and you have full off-road beadlock capability. Two modes, one wheel.
