Tesla Model Y 1st gen, pre-Juniper wheel fitment

Original Model Y wheel changes often replace the Performance model's staggered 21s with a smaller square set. Wheel load capacity and brake clearance matter as much as the outward position of the rim.

Width and offset guidance

Offset range

Check the exact setup

There is no confirmed range for this car yet. Compare a known wheel with your proposed size and measure both sides.

Common width limit

Measure before ordering

A maximum width has not been confirmed. Tyre shape, ride height and alignment all change the available space.

These figures belong to the setups described here. Combining the widest wheel with either end of the offset range does not guarantee a safe fit. For how ET moves the wheel in and out, read wheel offset explained; for how far the tyre can sit out, see flush, poke and tucked fitment.

Clearance notes

  • This entry is for the original Model Y, sold into 2025 depending on market. Juniper and Model Y L are excluded despite sharing some mounting dimensions.
  • Use tyres and wheels rated for the car's axle loads. Do not assume a Model 3 wheel has sufficient load capacity for a Model Y.
  • Performance brake clearance must be confirmed for the wheel design when moving down from 21 inches.
  • Tesla's original-model manual specifies ET48 for the rear Überturbine and 175 Nm for the nuts. Later-generation wheel dimensions should not be substituted.
  • Check full steering lock and suspension travel with the car loaded. Match wheel load rating, tyre load and speed ratings, fastener seats and brake clearance.
