Performance Street and Track Wheel Fitment

Whether you enjoy spirited street driving or you're a weekend track warrior chasing lap times, these wheel & tire configurations are ideal for enthusiasts looking for a more dramatic improvement in performance. They are typically paired with performance oriented summer tires or track oriented R-compounds and this category includes both staggered and square configurations to best suit each individual drivers priorities, goals and preferences for their vehicle.

We've optimized the offset of our wheels to work well with the stock fenders, however, a wide variety of tire compounds can be used and some may require negative camber to fit properly. See fitment notes under each tire configuration below to see if modifications are required. If you plan to track your car, we highly recommended dialing in negative camber regardless of whether your wheel/tire fitment requires it for fender clearance. Negative camber is vital for extracting the most performance and longevity out of your tires, and without the proper amount the outer shoulders of your tires will wear out prematurely and running tire costs will dramatically increase.

    Joshua G. ★★★★★

    Dropped 12 pounds of rotating mass per corner with the 18x9.5 ET29 set, and the steering feels noticeably quicker now. Satin Black finish is holding up well after a month of highway miles, though I’m careful around curbs.

    Lily D. ★★★★★

    The Anthracite finish looks even better in person, and the 19x9.5 size fills the wheel well perfectly. I've already felt a noticeable difference in handling from the 10K T rating compared to the stock setup.

    Sofia ★★★★★

    Finally got these mounted on my Model 3 and the 18x9.5 ET29 fitment is perfect, no rubbing at all. The weight difference from the stock wheels is immediately noticeable in how the car feels through corners.
