I'm quite sure there is torque specs for the lug nuts for the hub and the spacers I would definitely do that.
How are the spacers holding up ?
The front was just fine, it's only the back that needed fixing. Now the front overshadows the aggressive look the back could have had.
True
have you had any problems with them on?
Your a brave man to put wheel spacers on uber-turbines which have almost stretched tyres and already have a lot of poke (far more so than any other tesla or other OEM wheel for that matter)
without the 10mm screw the steering wheel will vibrate😂 is there another solution?
Why did you have to take the bolt off the hub cover?
I know this is a relatively older post, but will Tesla void your warranty as a result of adding the spacers?
I actually don’t know that’s a good question though
Probably depends what warranty, if your suspension gets f'd up, yeah, Tesla will probably reject your claim.
for sure should be torquing those bolts to spec, believe BLOX calls for 100ft/lbs whereas the actual lug nuts are 120ft/lbs-ish.
Yes you are correct
129ft lbs for lug nuts
Did you move the car so the suspension settles after lifting it? lol doesn’t look like it
Torque specs would have been good to mention in the video but I found them when looking through the comments at least.
Yes, I did forget to mention that. Pretty much did this video on the fly just to try to help people.
What size is the spacer for the rare wheels please? 15mm or 20mm?
hey, i read a lot of comments stating that 15" spacers on the front requires the lug bolts to be shaved. It looks like you didn't have to do that. Can you confirm that the lug bolts going into the indents on the back of the wheel arent touching?
I believe they actually were touching after this video. I actually ended up taking the front ones off because I had a slight wobble.
@@AndysAutoCarePlus ya i had that issue too with 18mm spacers. Not the lug bolts for me but the rotor screw had to be removed. I had a wobble and my brakes became spongy somehow until I removed that screw. Thanks for the video though!
Lmao you left the screw on that’s insane
Great video! I have 25mm (1'') lower Eibach springs and H&R spacers 17mm front and 17mm rear on my M3P 2023. with OEM Pirelli tires 235/35/20.
Do you think if there will be a tire rubbing if I mont wider tires - 245/35/20?
I would really appreciate the advice!
To be honest, I’m not exactly sure I’ve heard of people going quite a bit wider tires without rubbing issues though there’s a lot of space in there. Thanks for watching. I appreciate it.
I just put on 255/35/20 AS4s on mine and somehow it rubs on stock suspension... (fronts rub, rear is good - lots of clearance)
Adding 20mm spacers fixed it
Need to know what came with the spacer kit and why you didn’t replace the screw you took out of the hub and do you have to replace that screw before putting the spaces on.
Thank you for sharing. I am planning to place similar wheel spacers on my 2018 Ford Fusion SE. I noticed that your wheel studs stuck out from the holes on the spacer. I have viewed several videos that say that it is bad for your wheel studs to stick out for the wheel spacer, because it keeps the wheel from sitting flat on the wheel spacer. Was that an issue you experienced? How did you get your wheel to sit flat against the wheel space even tough your wheel studs were sticking out from the wheel spacer?
These wheels had room so wasn’t a issue. I think I showed that in the video but I will have to go bad and look.
I thought the 15mm spacers won't fit on the performance ones since the wheel studs hit the back of the stock 20" wheels? Maybe that's why you had some vibrations since the wheel wasn't fully flat?
Blox (bonoss) told me the same...is there any work around? 18mm just took much poke for front wheels. They suggested to shorten the original wheel studs but I don't want to mess with that. Any downside to going stock on front and 20mm on rear?
@@rm1626 there is an alternative. Search for tesla 14mm h&r spacers that have an extended lug nut
@@downshift00 the problem is that the original studs stick out too much the thinner the spacer...how would going thinner help? I searched...couldn't find...link would be appreciated. To be clear its the 20inch uberturbines that don't have deep enough cavities for the original studs to fit into.
@@rm1626I know what the problem is. The 14mm spacers I mentioned do not have studs.. You slip them over your current studs and use the extended lug nuts so you can use a thicker spacer. Google them and you will see what im talking about.
@@downshift00 ahh ok makes sense thanks I'll look!
How do the spacers affect the car's acceleration, braking, and handling?
I never felt a difference.
Would you recommend 20mm for the front and 25mm for the rear tires?
No
Did you have to do any modifications to front?
How does it drive in comparison?
To be honest I ended up removing the front ones now it’s great. 😃 I had some small vibration in the front.
@@AndysAutoCarePlus any issues running only the rear at 20mm and stock on the front? is that too much of a difference?
Stance looks great. However, I'm curious about your thoughts after driving the car.
I have since removed the front as I felt a little shimmy on a long trip. Back is fantastic!
Any issues or observations only running spacers in the back?
@@AndysAutoCarePlus the shimmy is because the wheels don't clear the studs. U have to run a 20mm spacer up front. The pockets on the back of the wheels aren't deep enough so the wheels are not sitting on the centric ring correctly.
Dude no torque specs on those spacers ?
Is it okay to leave the from stock and go 20 mm in the back ?
I have since taken the front ones out and now stock up front.
@@AndysAutoCarePlus so stock front and 20 mm rear?
If I add 10mm on my 2015 ms do I need to get bigger studs ?
I’m not sure to be honest
Do yo drive your p-zeros on the rain?
I haven’t yet but I live in Oregon so I definitely will soon I’m sure!
Here we go Elon... :)
That’s way too much bud.
Wheels stick out way too far IMO
I respect that. I ended up removing the front and just run the back ones now.
Horrible looking poke
