Tesla Model S Long Range & Plaid (2021-2026) Wheel Fitment Guide
The 2021–2026 Model S Long Range and Plaid use a 5×120 bolt pattern, a 64.1mm center bore and M14×1.5 lug nuts with a 60° conical seat. Factory wheels are 9.5″ front at ET40 and 10.5″ rear at ET45. This guide covers the front knuckle clearance limit and the Plaid Track Package brakes.
About this guide: Fitment data is compiled from owner builds on Tesla Motors Club and in owner-submitted fitment galleries, cross-checked against vendor fitment documentation. Use it as research for your build; ride height, tires, and alignment are still your installer's call.

Factory Wheel & Tire Configurations
Every 2021–2026 Model S came on a staggered 19″ or 21″ wheel at the same widths and offsets, renamed for the 2026 refresh without a hardware change. Plaid owners could add the Track Package with forged 20″ wheels and carbon ceramic brakes.

Platform-specific fitment notes — Model S
Front knuckle clearance.
The 2021+ Model S front knuckle limits how far in a wide front barrel can reach. Owners report under 1mm of clearance at 19×9.5 ET35, about 3mm at 20×10 ET30, and treat ET30 as the 21×9.5 minimum. Going lower in front usually means a narrower width or confirming clearance first.
Track Package carbon ceramic brakes.
The Plaid Track Package uses 410mm carbon ceramic rotors that need at least a 20″ wheel, and spoke shape matters as much as diameter. FMB checks caliper clearance for your brake package before forging; Tesla service installs the carbon brakes only on factory wheels.
Lug nut seat and shoulder.
Tesla's M14×1.5 lug nuts have a 60° conical seat with a larger shoulder than a typical aftermarket nut. FMB machines the seat to fit, but if your new wheels use a smaller lug pocket, use matching conical nuts rather than forcing the factory ones.

The most-documented square setup: 20×10.5 ET35 at all four corners, on two owner cars and a vendor fitment guide. The front sits about 18mm outside stock and the rear about 1cm; 295/35R20 is the usual tire. A square set lets you rotate tires front to rear.

The most-built 2021+ Model S setup: 20×9 front and 20×10.5 rear, almost always at ET30 / ET35. Six owner cars document it at stock height with no rubbing, on 255/35 or 255/40 fronts and a 285/35R20 rear. It sits close to the factory lip in front and about 1cm fuller at the rear.

The widest documented 20″ staggered spec, from a vendor fitment guide: 20×10.5 ET35 front and 20×11 ET31 rear on 295/35R20 and 315/30R20. Both ends sit about 2cm outside stock, so it fills the arches more than any other 20″ staggered card.

Our Process
What happens when you build with FMB
Built to the exact spec, not the closest one on a shelf. The setups above come from real Model S builds, and we CNC-machine every wheel to them directly. If a build needs a spacer to reach its offset, we machine that offset into the wheel instead.
- Choose your setup.
This guide is built to give you what you need to pick a spec with confidence: documented Model S builds, tire sizes, and how each one fits. If you still have questions, we're happy to help before you order.
- Engineering verification.
Our manufacturing partner confirms wheel specs, including bolt pattern, center bore, brake caliper clearance, backspacing and load rating.
- Render approval.
You approve the design and final specs before we move forward with production.
Our fitment guarantee
Every set is guaranteed to mount on your Model S: 5×120 bolt pattern, bored to the 64.1mm hub, machined for 60° conical lug nuts, and made to the exact width and offset you approved.
How a setup sits on your car also depends on ride height, tires and alignment, so choose with your plans in mind.

FAQ — Frequently Asked Questions
What wheels and tires come stock on the 2021–2026 Model S?
Both Long Range and Plaid came standard on the 19″ Tempest (Magnetite for 2026): 19×9.5 ET40 front and 19×10.5 ET45 rear on 255/45R19 and 285/40R19. The optional 21″ Arachnid (Velarium for 2026) uses the same widths and offsets on 265/35R21 and 295/30R21. Plaid Track Package cars use 20″ Zero-G wheels.
What are the Model S bolt pattern, center bore and lug nuts?
The 2021–2026 Model S uses a 5×120 bolt pattern, a 64.1mm center bore and M14×1.5 lug nuts with a 60° conical seat and 21mm hex, torqued to 129 lb-ft (175 Nm). FMB bores every set to the 64.1mm hub and machines the seat for conical nuts.
What aftermarket sizes fit the Model S at stock ride height?
Owners running aftermarket wheels at or near the factory specs typically report no clearance changes at stock ride height. The most documented is 20×9 ET30 front with 20×10.5 ET35 rear, on six owner cars, and 20×10.5 ET35 square. A vendor fitment guide lists ET35 at the factory 19″ and 21″ widths.
How do I read the offset rows, and what separates flush from aggressive?
Each card is one wheel size; each row is one documented build at its effective offset. The Front and Rear figures show how far each lip sits outside the factory 9.5J ET40 front and 10.5J ET45 rear wheel. On the Model S, under about 10mm out still looks tucked; 15–20mm out reads flush to aggressive.
Which wheels clear the Plaid Track Package brakes?
The carbon ceramic Track Package brakes need at least a 20″ wheel; the factory 19″ wheel does not clear them. Spoke and barrel shape matter as much as diameter, so FMB checks caliper clearance for your brake package before forging. Tesla service installs the carbon brakes only with factory Zero-G, Arachnid or Velarium wheels.
Should I run a square or staggered setup on the Model S?
Both are documented. The factory setups are staggered, and the most-built aftermarket spec is staggered 20×9 / 20×10.5. Square sets such as 20×10.5 ET35 let you rotate tires, which helps on a Plaid that wears its rears quickly. The Model S is all-wheel drive, so keep front and rear rolling diameters close; check your owner's manual.
Do I need spacers on the Model S?
Not with the right offset. Some owners use 5–20mm spacers to push factory or aftermarket wheels out; every spacer build on this page is listed at its effective offset, because FMB machines that face position into the wheel. On the front, spacers also add knuckle clearance, which is why 19×9.5 builds below ET35 often use them.
Do I need new TPMS sensors for aftermarket Model S wheels?
Tesla uses Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) TPMS sensors, so generic 433 MHz sensors will not work. Move the factory sensors to the new wheels or buy Tesla-compatible BLE sensors; the car pairs them automatically after installation. Set the matching wheel configuration in the car's settings so range and tire alerts stay accurate.
How do aftermarket wheels affect Model S range?
Tire choice affects range more than wheel weight. Wider performance summer tires and removing aero covers cost the most range, while lighter forged wheels give back a little. For the best efficiency, owners stay at factory-size 19″ tires on a lighter wheel. Before-and-after range data on specific setups is limited in public sources.
What winter wheels can I run on the Model S?
Tesla sells a 19″ winter package on the factory 255/45R19 and 285/40R19 sizes, and the 21″ sizes have winter tire options too. Most owners in snow run a separate 19″ or 20″ set. The Track Package Supercar 3R tires are not rated below about 40°F, so Plaid owners on Zero-G wheels need a second set for cold weather.
Which Model S years does this guide cover?
The refreshed Model S Long Range and Plaid, model years 2021–2026; production ended at Fremont in 2026. The 2026 Magnetite and Velarium wheels replaced Tempest and Arachnid at the same sizes. Earlier 2012–2021 Model S cars use different factory wheels and suspension, so their aftermarket fitments are not listed here.
