The Tesla Model 3 wheel spacers are useful parts of your ride’s style and performance. But wheel spacers come in various sizes, types, and materials. Exactly how much offset does a spacer add? How much is a set of 4 spacers? By looking deeply into this wheel spacer fitment guide, you’ll quickly find the best spacer size and type for your Tesla Model 3 Highland, Standard Range, Long Range, and Performance wheel fitment.
2017-2025 Tesla Model 3 Wheel Spacer Size Chart
| Model | PCD | CB | Thread Size | Torque Spec | Flush Size | Price (Set of 4) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ’17-’23 Model 3 | 5×114.3mm | 64.1mm | M14x1.5mm | 140 Nm (103.5 ft-lb) | Front 15mm Rear 20mm | $246 to $360 |
| ’24 & Newer Model 3 Highland | 5×114.3mm | 64.1mm | M14x1.5mm | 140 Nm (103.5 ft-lb) | Front 15mm Rear 20mm | $246 to $360 |
In short, the best 2017-2025 Tesla Model 3 wheel spacer sizes are 15mm to 25mm thickness, 5×114.3mm bolt pattern, 64.1mm center bore and M14x1.5mm thread pitch. Wheel spacers come in a wide range of sizes. So, if your Tesla Model 3 stock wheels look stick in the fenders, why not add a set of wheel spacers to improve the aesthetic appeal and performance?
Do You Have to Cut Wheel Studs for Tesla Model 3 Wheel Spacers?
In certain situations, you don’t need to cut OEM wheel studs for Tesla Model 3 wheel spacers. If the spacer’s lug hole depth is smaller than the stock stud length, then you must check the wheel mounting plate. The mounting pad of the used wheels must have enough wheel cavities to cover the protruding studs. If the using wheels come without proper cavities, you may have to shorten the stock wheel studs.
BONOSS forged active cooling Tesla Model 3 wheel spacers are made of high-quality materials and are specifically designed to fit the Tesla Model 3 Highland/ Performance / SR / SR+ / MR / LR. What’s better, they come with an active cooling function. The heat dissipation grooves behind the spacers boost the cooling efficiency, reducing brake thermal decay, and improving road safety. This is helpful to extend the longevity of your performance brake kits.
Do I Need Longer Wheel Studs for Tesla Model 3 Wheel Spacers?
If you use bolt-on type Tesla Model 3 wheel spacers, you don’t need new wheel studs. Because the bolt-on type wheel spacers come with the pressed-in wheel studs. Simply remove the wheels, mount and tighten these spacers, and then mount and torque the wheels down on the spacers. In this case, BONOSS provides ISO grade 12.9 wheel studs to ensure a strong wheel-spacer-hub connection.
These BONOSS forged ISO grade 12.9 wheel studs are approved by over 66 SGS TÜV test reports, tensile strength≥ 1,220 MPa, limited life range test ≥ 2,000,000 stress cycles without damage, ultimate tensile load≥152,000 N, hardness (HV) ≥ 395, NSS ≥ 500H. Such BONOSS forged active cooling Tesla Model 3 wheel spacers are a great way to improve the look and performance of your electric vehicle.
Are 5mm Tesla Model 3 Wheel Spacers Dangerous?
Adding 5mm spacers on a Tesla Model 3 is not dangerous. Because the 5mm spacers are not hub-centric, many people worry about that they may cause high-speed vibration. In fact, most Tesla Model 3 OEM wheel hubs are long enough to cover the wheels. As long as you torque each lug nut properly, there won’t be any problems. Besides, you don’t need longer wheel studs to fasten 3mm to 5mm Tesla Model 3 wheel spacers.
Thanks to tons of pressure, these BONOSS forged aluminum alloy 5mm spacers are much stronger than cast spacers due to grain refinement. Consistent forging makes for stronger structural integrity with less material. The tensile strength is up to 572 MPa, and the yield strength is up to 503 MPa (AL7075-T6).
If you are looking for cheap but durable options, then BONOSS forged 6061-T6 aluminum alloy wheel spacers are the way to go. For racing and hard-driving events, there is no better option than BONOSS forged active cooling 7075-T6 aluminum alloy Tesla Model 3 wheel spacers.
