Tesla Model Y UP.FIT Forged PD 18” Wheel and Tire Package

This UP.FIT Forged PD package is built around that goal. It pairs forged 6061-T6 wheels, the same design used on Unplugged Performance’s police Teslas, with your choice of tough tires, then delivers the set fully mounted and balanced with TPMS installed. The forged wheels resist cracking far better than Tesla’s cast OEM wheels, and the tire selection adds sidewall protection against curbs. For maximum durability with low cost of ownership, it is purpose-built.

Three, matched to how you drive. The street setup uses BF Goodrich Elite Force 245/55R18, a pursuit-rated tire developed for harsh police use. The off-road choice is the BFGoodrich Trail-Terrain T/A 255/55R18 for trails and gravel. The winter option is the Michelin X-Ice Snow 235/55R18 for ice and deep cold. Whichever you pick, it is chosen after thousands of UP test miles rather than guessed at.

Yes. The UP.FIT PD wheel is made for all Model Y years, and the design clears both standard and Performance Model Y brakes, so a Performance car or a 2026 Juniper is covered. The wheels are an 18×8.5 forged fitment that bolts to factory hubs. Because everything is Tesla-specific, you avoid spacers and clearance headaches, which is exactly why this setup holds up in demanding fleet service.

Yes, that is the point of that option. The BFGoodrich Trail-Terrain T/A in 255/55R18 delivers real traction and durability on loose dirt and gravel trails, and the forged PD wheel underneath shrugs off the impacts that dent cast wheels. It is the right tool for fire roads and remote campsites. For serious clearance you would add a lift, but the wheel and tire foundation is trail-ready as delivered. Owners chasing a more aggressive off-road stance can also look at the UP-03 Off-Road package with Yokohama Geolandar tires.

Because the tire is what actually cushions the cabin. An 18-inch wheel runs a taller sidewall with more air between the rim and the road, so it absorbs bumps big and small and lets less noise, vibration, and harshness reach you than a low-profile factory setup. These 18-inch PD packages are tuned to maximize that isolation. The forged wheel keeps strength high while the taller tire does the smoothing.

Yes. It ships with the tires professionally mounted, road-force balanced, and with four TPMS sensors installed, so it is ready to bolt onto the car. That takes the trial-and-error out of building a set. Fitting the finished wheels is a simple torque-wrench job in your driveway or at a wheel shop, and our Hawthorne facility can handle the install if you are local to Los Angeles.

The package makes sense when you want it solved in one purchase: the right tires, mounting, balancing, and TPMS are all included and validated. Buying the bare PD wheel set makes sense if you already have tires you want to reuse or a specific tire in mind. Same forged wheel either way. The package saves you sourcing and a trip to the tire shop; the bare set saves money if you are supplying rubber.

Two ways. The forged construction resists the cracking and bending that force cast-wheel owners into repeat replacements, and the half-inch width reduction lets the tire sidewall shield the rim from curb damage. Fewer damaged wheels means fewer replacements over the years. The tires were also selected for longevity across thousands of test miles. Add the lifetime structural warranty and the math favors buying once.

Yes, modestly but noticeably. The forged wheels cut rotational mass compared with heavier factory options, so stop-and-go city driving takes less energy and the car feels a touch more responsive on and off the accelerator. Combined with the taller, quieter 18-inch tires, the everyday experience is smoother and calmer. It is not a track upgrade; it is a wheel that makes daily Model Y driving more efficient and comfortable.

A lifetime warranty against structural damage or defects, for the original owner and non-transferable. If a PD wheel cracks or bends in normal use, Unplugged Performance replaces it. The company can stand behind that because the forged monoblock is extremely hard to hurt, which UP says openly. It does not cover cosmetic curb wear or misuse, but the structural promise is what makes this a buy-once package for daily and fleet drivers.

Both are forged and curb-resistant, but they aim at different drivers. This UP-03 Off-Road package comes as a turnkey 18×9 set with rugged Geolandar tires and an aggressive stance for trail use. The UP.FIT Forged PD wheels are a square 18×8.5 police-derived design focused on maximum durability and a utilitarian look. Choose UP-03 for width and off-road style, PD for fleet-grade toughness.

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.

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.
