Product Details
The Tesla Model Y delivers instant torque, confident speed, and everyday versatility. Your wheels should match that mission. Our 21-inch UP-03 Wheel & Tire Packages bring EV-specific engineering, forged toughness, and track-validated durability to a clean OEM-plus look. UP-03 is purpose built for Tesla. It uses forged 6061-T6 aluminum, a super strong I-beam spoke profile to minimize flex, and a knurled barrel that helps reduce tire slip during hard launches and heavy braking. Each wheel carries a 950 kg (2090 lb) load rating and is backed by our unlimited-mileage and unlimited track-use warranty. We offer three dialed Model Y fitments so you can choose the stance, rotation strategy, and grip level that suits your driving.
-
1) 21×9.5 ET35 / 21×10.5 ET40 Staggered
This is the maximum footprint street package. It runs Michelin Pilot Sport EV tires in 265/35ZR21 front and 295/30ZR21 rear. Expect fast steering, strong wet and dry grip, and a planted rear that puts power down cleanly. The staggered layout adds visual muscle and rear traction. Choose this if you prioritize performance feel and do not require front to rear rotation.
-
2) 21×9.5 ET35 Square
This square package uses four Yokohama ADVAN Sport A/S+ 275/35R21 tires. It balances year-round versatility, quiet comfort, and confident wet performance with the ability to rotate all four corners to extend tread life. Pick this if you daily your Model Y in varied climates, value predictable manners in the rain, and want the long term economy provided by rotation.
-
3) 21×10.5 ET40 Square
This bold square setup runs four Michelin Pilot Sport EV 295/30ZR21 tires. It delivers a very wide contact patch at every corner and still allows rotation. If you want near staggered grip with the serviceability of a square set, this is the enthusiast choice. Expect quick turn-in, high stability at speed, and strong braking traction.
Why UP-03 on Model Y
- Forged 6061-T6 construction for strength with low mass that sharpens response and helps efficiency.
- I-beam architecture that resists flex for consistent feedback during aggressive driving.
- Knurled bead seat to help keep the tire locked on the rim under EV torque and repeated heat cycles.
- Tesla specific details throughout, including TPMS, factory lug hardware, and brake clearance.
- Track proven across extreme environments and events, yet refined for daily roads.
- Unlimited-miles and track-use warranty for confidence long after install.
How to choose your package
- Choose Staggered 9.5/10.5 if you want the most rear traction, the most aggressive stance, and the Michelin Pilot Sport EV summer compound for spirited driving and road trips in warm weather.
- Choose Square 9.5 if you want an all-season solution with four corner rotation and balanced handling. It is the smart pick for mixed climates and high annual mileage.
- Choose Square 10.5 if you want the largest practical footprint with rotation capability and summer performance feel.
What is included
- Four UP-03 forged wheels in your selected 21-inch fitment
- A matched tire set as listed above for the chosen package
- Tesla compatible specs for TPMS, center caps, and lug hardware
Compatibility and setup notes
These packages fit all Model Y years and trims. After installation we recommend a professional alignment to set camber and toe for your chosen width and to promote even wear. Follow tire manufacturer cold pressure guidance and adjust for load and climate. For frequent mountain driving, towing, or spirited use, consider slightly higher cold pressures within the tire maker range to support stability. Choose the package that matches your roads and priorities. With UP-03 forging and curated EV-ready tires, you gain the grip, precision, and confidence your Model Y deserves.

CYBRHEX or UP-03 in 21 inch, which should I buy?
Both are forged 6061-T6 and share Model Y-tuned 21-inch fitments, so it’s mostly about design and warranty detail. CYBRHEX is the angular Selipanov statement and is double-drilled for cross-platform use. The 21-inch UP-03 package is a cleaner spoke design carrying an unlimited-mileage and track-use warranty. If you track the car, weigh that warranty; if you want the boldest face, CYBRHEX.
What load rating and warranty do the 21-inch UP-03 wheels carry?
Each UP-03 wheel carries a 950 kg (2,090 lb) load rating and is backed by an unlimited-mileage and unlimited track-use warranty. That’s an unusually strong pair of numbers for a 21-inch wheel and it tells you how the wheel is meant to be used: hard and often, without babying it. The load rating gives real margin for the Model Y’s weight, cargo, and cornering loads.
What makes the UP-03 strong enough for track use?
Two things. It’s forged from 6061-T6 aluminum, which packs the grain structure tighter than casting for higher strength, and it uses a super-strong I-beam spoke profile that minimizes flex for consistent feedback when you’re driving hard. A knurled barrel helps keep the tire locked to the rim through repeated heat cycles and hard launches. That’s why the wheel carries an unlimited track-use warranty rather than a street-only one.
What fitments and tires come with the 21-inch UP-03 package?
Three setups. Staggered 21×9.5 ET35 front and 21×10.5 ET40 rear on Michelin Pilot Sport EV in 265/35ZR21 and 295/30ZR21 is the maximum-footprint street package. A 21×9.5 ET35 square runs four Yokohama ADVAN Sport A/S+ 275/35R21 for all-season use with rotation. A 21×10.5 ET40 square runs four Michelin Pilot Sport EV 295/30ZR21 for near-staggered grip that still rotates.
Do the 21-inch UP-03 wheels use my factory Tesla lug hardware and TPMS?
Yes. The wheels are purpose-built for Tesla with the correct center bore, TPMS support, and factory lug hardware, and they clear the brakes on every Model Y year and trim. Nothing extra to source, so the swap uses the hardware you already have. After installation we recommend a professional alignment to set camber and toe for your chosen width and promote even wear. It’s a bolt-on designed around the car, not adapted to it.
Which UP-03 21 configuration should I pick?
Choose the staggered 9.5/10.5 for the most rear traction, the most aggressive stance, and the Pilot Sport EV summer compound, ideal for spirited warm-weather driving. Choose the 9.5 square for an all-season solution with four-corner rotation and balanced handling, the smart pick for mixed climates and high mileage. Choose the 10.5 square if you want the largest practical footprint that still rotates.
Why does forged construction help a heavy EV like the Model Y?
Forging gives you strength with low mass, and low mass at the wheel does two useful things: it sharpens response by reducing rotating inertia, and it helps efficiency. The I-beam architecture resists flex so the feedback stays consistent when the car is loaded up mid-corner. On a vehicle that’s both heavy and quick, keeping unsprung weight down while holding strength high is exactly what you want.
What’s included, and does it arrive ready to run?
You get four UP-03 forged wheels in your selected 21-inch fitment and a matched tire set for that package, with Tesla-compatible specs for TPMS, center caps, and lug hardware. It’s built to install cleanly. Follow tire-maker cold pressure guidance and adjust for load and climate. For frequent mountain driving, towing, or spirited use, running slightly higher cold pressures within the tire’s range helps stability.
Can Unplugged Performance install and align the 21-inch UP-03?
Yes. If you’re near Los Angeles we can mount, balance, torque, and align the set in-house, and we ship worldwide ready to bolt on. The alignment is the step that protects your investment on a low-profile 21: it sets camber and toe for your width so the tires wear evenly. A torque recheck after the first heat cycle is good practice on any new wheel install.
UP-03 or CYBRHEX for a Model Y that sees track days?
If track use is on the menu, the UP-03’s unlimited track-use warranty and I-beam spoke make it the natural pick in this size. The 21-inch CYBRHEX package is the same forged 6061-T6 class and a bolder design, but the UP-03 is the one explicitly warrantied for unlimited track miles. For street looks, either works; for lapping days, lean UP-03.
Is a 21-inch wheel practical if I want some winter or rough-road ability?
A 21 is firmer and has less sidewall to protect the rim, so it’s best where roads are good or for a summer-and-track setup. For winter or rougher surfaces, a smaller diameter with more sidewall is the better tool, and many owners keep this 21 as a warm-season set. If you want one wheel that leans toward all-road and snow duty, our 18-inch UP-03 package with all-terrain rubber is the counterpart.
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.
