Hi, your video just came up on my feed. Now I want spacers for my model Y performance. Would 15mm front and 20mm rear work for oem 21” wheel? I may upgrade tires to 275/35/21 front and 295/35/21 rear. Would 15 and 20mm spacers work w oem size and bigger sizes too?
Thank you for watching this video and the support. If you upgrade to 275/35/21 & 295/35/21, you can only run a small 10mm spacer up front. I would not run spacers in the back because the 295's fill the rear width well.
OK thanks anyway! I have a 2023 MYLR that I just installed lowering springs/shocks on and just wanted to double check what 20mm fitment will look like 😀
You’ll want to remove the wheels after a couple days and retorque the nuts on the spacer. Same for the fasteners to the wheels. They’ll loosen up a tad after driving.
@@sa.t.2507 you should not be using Loctite on ANY spacer setup. The most crucial element, is to use quality nuts and torque them down correctly. They will not back out. If nuts backing out was an issue, OEM manufacturers would request that you use Loctite on their OEM rims/tires setup.
@@TheAutomotiveFanatic not true with spacers. Your wheels are planned to be swapped because of seasons or tire swapping, thus it is planned that the nuts will be torqued again and checked. The nuts that holds the spacers are planned to sit there more or less permanently. That’s why you add some Loctite in order to make sure that they always stay tight without checking them.
Lincoln, I have heard both sides of the story. IMHO, if you have proper spacers with hub-centric rings, and...do not go too wide, your bearings should be fine.
Thanks so much!! One final thing and I won't bug you anymore regarding this...would it be possible to post still pics of both the front and rear fitment it was a little difficult for me to see on the video?? Thanks for all your knowledge!!
Thank you Henry for your comment. As intuitive as your comment is on the spacers, it's not necessarily true. Almost every spacers on the market for the 3/Y do not match the size of the hub. What I find as being MOST important though, would be to have hubcentric spacers with the highest quality studs (12.9). If the spacers have both of these factors, you should be safe.

@ thank for the info.
I have 3 kids, will
I have an issue with rubbing the fender with the tires?
If you're stock height, you should have no issues.
I have model y with 20” induction wheels. What’s a good mm spacers to buy?
I would go with 15mm all around.
@ thank you

With the OEM 19" Gemini wheels.
@@tomconrad1311 I think 20mm might poke slightly.

Supersonic, you bring up a great point so thank you for your input. Yes, check your torque values 50-100miles of driving.
No you don’t if you use Loctite

Is there a difference in year ? I have a 2024 model Y performance, I think the tires size is the same as a 2023
I do not believe they changed tire sizes.
Idk if this is true but I’ve heard that putting wheel spacers can damage your wheel bearing? What are your thoughts? Thanks again.

Did you do 20mm on front and back?
Yes, I installed the 20mm spacers on the front and back wheels.
Which mm to get to have it sit flush with the fender on the performance model staggered rims? 18mm, 20mm, or 25mm
I assume you own the newer MP3 with the 235/35/20 & 275/30/20 tire set up. If so, I would go 15mm all around.
I have the 2024 myp
@@kly972 I wouldn't to too aggressive. Again, I think 10-15mm is good enough.
@@TheAutomotiveFanaticthank you I think I might shoot for 18mm thank you
@@kly972 please post some photos once you've installed them!
Is your vehicle a P or LR? And what wheels/ tires? Thanks!!
I have the MYP with 275/35/21 & 295/35/21 tires.
Thanks so much!! One final thing and I won't bug you anymore regarding this...would it be possible to post still pics of both the front and rear fitment it was a little difficult for me to see on the video?? Thanks for all your knowledge!!
I'm sorry Tom, it was installed on a client's vehicle so I do not have easy access to take photos.
Do you know if this will fit 2024 MYLR? I think it will but haven't had a chance to confirm...
From what I have seen, there were no changes on the 24' MYLR so these will fit.
Would this setup apply to a 2023 MYLR with 19"gemini wheels? Thanks!
This would work for your 23' YLR
The diameter of the spacer is much smaller than the rotor surface. There's much less contact now with the wheel; not good
