Level up the wheel style with a new set of Tesla Model X wheel spacers! In this comprehensive guide, we dive into everything you need to know about the wheel spacers for the 2015-2025 Tesla Model X Plaid/ Long Range/ Performance. From stock options to aftermarket upgrades, this guide contains the specific bolt pattern (PCD), center bore (CB), various sizes, offsets, and spacer selection.
From tour days to daily commuting, there are many options for Tesla Model X spacers. This guide also covers important information such as compatibility, performance, and cost to help you make a wise decision. Whether you’re looking for a subtle change or a complete overhaul, it helps figure out the best wheel spacer size and type that is important for the correct fitment.
Let’s kick things off by looking at the factory Tesla Model X wheel spacer sizing:
OEM Rim size and offset: 20-in/21-in/22-in +30 to +40 offset
Reference flush wheel spacer size: front 15mm / rear 20mm
Bolt pattern (PCD): 5x120mm
Center bore (CB): 64.1mm
Lug nut spec: M14x1.5mm
If you decide to upgrade to bigger rims, wider tires, a wide body kit, or aero fenders, you can go with thicker wheel spacers to create a more aggressive and sportier stance. It all depends on your personal preferences.
What is the Lug Pattern on a 2015-2025 Tesla Model X Plaid/ Long Range/ Performance?
The lug bolt pattern of the 2015-2025 Tesla Model X Plaid/ Long Range/ Performance is 5x120mm and the center bore is 64.1mm. Knowing the vehicle’s bolt pattern is critical to ensure the wheel spacers you order fit perfectly. In addition to getting the bolt patterns right, you must make certain that the new Tesla Model X wheel spacers are strong enough to undertake a certain load capacity. This is especially important for an all-electric SUV.
What Are the Torque Specs for Tesla Model X Wheel Spacers?
The REFERENCE torque on the Tesla Model X wheel spacers will be 140 NM or 103.5 Ft-lb (just for REFERENCE, please inquire with a tire expert). It’s important to properly tighten each wheel nut when installing new wheel spacers. Only torquing new wheels once is not enough. The spacer and wheel might settle after the first few miles. But the loosened lug nuts can lead to a small gap between the spacer and the hub. Therefore, we recommend re-torquing the lug nuts after 50 to 100 miles of driving.
How Much Does a Set of Tesla Model X Wheel Spacers Cost?
Adding a whole set of Tesla Model X wheel spacers can cost from $63 to $132 per wheel or $252 to $528 for your entire car. The price depends on the thickness and material you choose, but the minimum cost of installing rim spacers is around $125.99. These Tesla Model X wheel spacers provide the same effect as many low-offset wheels but the price is much lower. Always choose authentic brand wheel spacers.
Because genuine brand wheel spacers guarantee the best quality. For example, BONOSS forged active cooling wheel spacers are made of top-quality forged 6061-T6 and 7075-T6 aluminum alloys. In particular, they provide an active cooling function. These Tesla wheel spacers come with petal-shaped grooves. The grooves allow the external cold air to flow continuously inside the spacer when it rotates. The air takes away the heat, actively dissipating heat for the braking system.
Do the Tesla Model X Wheel Spacers Need Alignment?
As long as your wheels are aligned well before, you don’t need a new wheel alignment after installing Tesla Model X wheel spacers. Wheel spacers are precision-engineered components that fit between a vehicle’s hub and the wheel. So, make sure you get precise hub-centric wheel spacers. BONOSS forged active cooling Tesla Model X wheel spacers are designed with better multi-stage hub-centric lips. The hub-centric metal ring is machined to be multi-layers, and the bevels fit the corresponding hub flange, which eliminates any possible gaps.
What’s better, BONOSS has achieved precision control at 0.02mm. Precision has become the core part of verifying the quality of a spacer. The smaller the tolerance value, the higher the accuracy, the better the surface quality, and the higher the reliability. Therefore, precise BONOSS forged active cooling Tesla Model X wheel spacers ensure that the axle and the wheel are kept on the same centerline, meaning no additional force, no vibration, and no annoying noise. Such BONOSS forged active cooling wheel spacers are the best wheel upgrading choices for your Tesla Model X.
