Tesla Model 3 Highland (2024–2027) Wheel Fitment Guide
The 2024–2027 Model 3 Highland uses a 5×114.3 bolt pattern, a 64.1mm center bore and M14×1.5 lug nuts with a 60° conical seat. Standard and Premium wheels are 8.5″ wide at ET38, and the Performance runs a staggered 20″ set at ET34 / ET45. This guide covers the Performance brakes and hub step.
About this guide: Fitment data is compiled from owner builds on Tesla Motors Club and r/TeslaModel3, plus customer cars in wheel-maker galleries, cross-checked against Tesla and vendor documentation. Use it as research for your build; ride height, tires, and alignment are still your installer's call.

Factory Wheel & Tire Configurations
Tesla fits the Highland with three factory packages: an 18″ steel wheel on the Standard, the 18″ Photon on RWD, Long Range and Premium cars, and a staggered 20″ Warp set on the Performance. The 19″ Nova is optional, and Tesla sells a staggered 19″ winter set for the Performance. Shared hub and hardware specs sit on the first card.

Platform-specific fitment notes — Model 3 Highland
Performance brakes and 18-inch wheels.
The Performance has larger brakes with red calipers. Owners report that the factory 18″ Photon does not clear them, though one owner runs an 18×8.5 ET35 aftermarket wheel, and Tesla's own Performance winter set is 19″. Tell us your trim when you order; caliper clearance for your brake package is checked before forging.
Performance hub step.
Performance hubs carry a raised 70.1mm step behind the 64.1mm hub pilot. It is documented on 2018–2023 Performance cars, and vendors machine their wheels to clear it on the 2024+ Performance. Spacers and hub rings must clear it too, so mention the Performance when ordering.
Lug nuts and spacers.
Every Highland uses M14×1.5 lug nuts with a 60° conical seat, and FMB machines each set for that seat. Vendors note the factory rear wheels sit well inboard, so many owners add rear spacers, which often need longer studs. A wheel made at the effective offset avoids the spacer.

The most documented Highland size, and the one Performance owners most often choose when they replace the staggered Warp set. Rows run from ET38 on a lowered Dual Motor, 13mm outside the factory 19″ Nova, to ET28 on a lowered 2025 Performance. ET29 is documented on three 2024+ Performance cars at stock height. At stock height, start around ET35.

The factory width at lower offsets, so the factory 235/40R19 tire carries over. ET35 moves the face only 3mm, ET32 is documented on a lowered 2024 Long Range with no rubbing reported, and ET23 brings it about 15mm out with vendors listing it as fitting with no changes. A good pick if you want a cleaner look without wider tires.

Keeps the factory 235/45R18 tire and the most sidewall, which suits range-focused and winter sets. ET35 is documented on a Highland Performance, where the owner says the rear sits well inside the fenders and the front closer to flush. ET23 sits about 15mm out. On a Performance, tell us your trim so caliper clearance is checked.

Half an inch wider than factory for a 245 or 255 tire. Both documented offsets put the face 10–11mm outside the Nova, a mild change that vendors list for every Highland trim. No owner builds at this size yet, so both rows are vendor setups; the source count shows that.

The Warp's front size run on all four corners. Vendor setups cluster at ET32–ET34, about 10–12mm outside the Nova on Standard and Premium cars. On a Performance, ET34 matches the factory front and sits within about 2mm of the factory rear, since the Warp rear is a 10″ wheel at ET45.

A wider square 20 for Performance owners who want more front tire than the Warp's 235. ET29 is documented on a 2024+ Performance at stock height on 275/30R20, about 11mm further out than the Warp front and 10mm at the rear. Vendor setups also list ET35 with 265/30R20 for a milder stance.

The wide-18 track setup: a 265/40R18 tire on a 9.5″ wheel for more grip and sidewall than the factory 20s. All three rows are vendor setups, spread across 7mm from ET35 to ET28. Performance owners need an 18 that clears the larger calipers, so confirm your trim when ordering.

A dedicated track width, not a street fitment. Both rows need suspension work: the vendor setup calls for aftermarket suspension and a track alignment, and the customer car runs coilovers and adjustable arms. Expect some tire poke. The spacer row was ET52 with 30mm front and 17mm rear spacers, listed here at the effective ET22 / ET35.

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 3 Highland 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 3 Highland 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 3 Highland: 5×114.3 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 2024–2027 Model 3 Highland?
The Standard gets an 18×8.5 ET38 steel wheel and RWD, Long Range and Premium cars get the 18×8.5 ET38 Photon, both on 235/45R18. The optional 19×8.5 ET38 Nova runs 235/40R19. The Performance uses a staggered 20″ Warp set: 20×9 ET34 front and 20×10 ET45 rear on 235/35R20 and 275/30R20.
What are the Model 3 Highland bolt pattern, center bore and lug nuts?
Every Highland uses a 5×114.3 bolt pattern and a 64.1mm center bore, with M14×1.5 lug nuts on a 60° conical seat, a 21mm socket and 129 lb-ft (175 Nm) of torque. The Performance hub adds a raised 70.1mm step that a wheel's bore must clear. FMB machines every set for conical lug nuts, so the factory nuts work.
What aftermarket sizes fit the Model 3 Highland at stock ride height?
The best documented size is 19×9.5 at ET29–ET35 on 265/35R19, including several 2024+ Performance cars at stock height. Owners running aftermarket wheels at or near factory specs, such as 18×8.5 or 19×8.5 around ET35, typically report no clearance changes at stock ride height. Wider setups such as 19×11 need suspension work.
How do I read the offset rows, and what separates flush from aggressive?
Each card is one wheel size and each row one documented build. The Front and Rear figures show how far the outer lip sits outside the factory 8.5J ET38 wheel, so a bigger number means more poke. Rows run from mildest to most aggressive, and the stance dots show the range a card covers. Chips mark stock height, lowered cars and spacer builds.
Do aftermarket wheels clear the Model 3 Performance brakes?
Most 19″ and 20″ aftermarket wheels documented here clear the factory Performance brakes, and vendors list their 18s as clearing them too. Owners report that the factory 18″ Photon does not fit over the Performance calipers, though one Highland Performance owner runs an aftermarket 18×8.5 ET35. Tell us your trim when you order; caliper clearance for your brake package is checked before forging.
Should I run a square or staggered setup on a Highland Performance?
Nearly every documented aftermarket Performance build here is square, most often 19×9.5 on 265/35R19, which keeps tire rotation. Staggered aftermarket sets appear only in vendor charts so far. Staggered setups can create front-to-rear rolling diameter differences that may stress the dual-motor drivetrain; check the math against your owner's manual before committing.
Do I need spacers on the Model 3 Highland?
No. Vendors note the factory rear wheels sit well inboard, so many owners add rear spacers for a flush look, and spacers past about 5mm often need longer studs. Spacer builds in this guide are listed at their effective offset, the wheel offset minus the spacer, which is the offset FMB machines into the wheel instead.
Do I need new TPMS sensors for aftermarket Model 3 Highland wheels?
The Highland uses Tesla's 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 after a short drive. Set the matching wheel configuration in the car's settings so range and tire alerts stay accurate.
How do wheel size and winter sets affect Model 3 Highland range?
The 18″ Photon with its aero cover is Tesla's most efficient setup, and owners report that larger, wider and heavier wheel and tire packages cost range. For winter, non-Performance owners commonly run 18×8.5 on 235/45R18; Tesla sells a staggered 19″ winter set for the Performance. Before-and-after range data on specific setups is limited.
Which Model 3 cars does this guide cover, and how do I tell a Highland?
This guide covers the refreshed US Model 3 from MY2024 through MY2027: Standard, RWD, Long Range, Premium and Performance. US Highland deliveries began in January 2024 as MY2024. Highland cars have slim headlights and C-shaped taillights, and on a US car VIN position 10 reads R (2024), S (2025), T (2026) or V (2027).
Can I use 2017–2023 Model 3 wheels on a Highland?
Yes, physically. The 2017–2023 car shares the 5×114.3 pattern, 64.1mm bore and lug nuts, and its 18″ and 19″ wheels are 8.5″ wide at ET40, about 2mm inboard of the Highland's ET38. Later 2017–2023 Performance 20s are 20×9 ET34. On a Highland Performance, check caliper clearance before fitting any 18″ wheel.
