18" Wheels for Cybertruck Explained

[ericbigguy]

These look awesome! More styles coming in 18” like a monoblock?

What is the width and offset of your wheel? How much does it stick out past stock wheel in mm

What is the tire size and model. Tia

We cut these CNC, so we can work from stock fitment...on out (offset for increased poke).

To keep it simple, we will have a 'stock fitment' wheel option, and a '+fitment' for the sportier / poked look. And from there, we can always custom cut if you have 'your own spec' you want us to hit.

I have a more specific question here:

Are there any dedicated winter snow tires that will fit the 18” wheels and meet specs for the CT? Like a Blizzak or Hakkapeliitta? Typically narrower is better in this use scenario and i haven’t seen any pure winter tires that fit the CT thus far. So does your 18” wheel allow for this? If so, will you be offering an 18” cybersteelie wheel for a pure winter tire and wheel package sometime soon? I’m not a fan of all seasons that happen to have a mountain snowflake rating. My experience with them on crap roads with ice has been that they have far less grip than dedicated snow tires and I would love an option for a cheap(er) set of winter wheels and tires i can swap out for ski trips to the mountains and such but so far it looks like nothing is available. What is the actual tire size you are using for these wheels? Looks like the listing on your website for the 18” wheels still had the tire specs from the larger wheels listed so I am curious. Thanks for your time, and thanks for so many wheel options for the CT already. It’ll be a while before I get my CB but I am sure there are others that would like to hear the answer to this.

Cheers.

Had a look this am for 'dedicated' snow, no offerings at this point. We'll keep an eye out for this...

Does it fit 295/70R18? I'm interested in on-road tires such as the Defender LTX M/S2 for possibly better efficiency.

I've run Nokians on my vehicles for a while now and love their snow tires. I'd very much like to get a set for my CT when it gets here in Canada.

Would it be OK to run 275-65-R20 snow tires instead of the OEM size 285-65-R20?

It's awesome that you guys are creating all these options so fast. For anyone who likes to customize their vehicles and make them unique, choosing the right wheels and tires is one of the most difficult things to accomplish. But it also has one of the biggest impacts on a vehicle's looks and performance.

I think I will be very interested to see how I can decrease unsprung weight on my AWD when I get it to eek out a little more 0-60 and range performance.

Nice job.

Good question....

Tires require a "minimum acceptable wheel width"...that drives the width on our wheels. Wheel width drives the contact patch / shape.

19" = no proper size / acceptable 'tires' exist, so while a 19" wheel could fit...no acceptable tires exist.

18" will give you plenty of curb protection and a softer ride here, yes.

I have 19s on my I3 and the contact patch is 3 inches. Plz explain......

This tire will work, but they are out of stock until next season. We will definitely have for next season.

295/70R18 is what we use, correct.

No 19" tires exist in the proper size / load for Cybertruck use.

What is the range of offsets you can make with this wheel, whats the weight and can a true to height 35/12.5/18 fit ?

??

 

[T Sportline]

There is no limit to offsets we can make. We cut these CNC, so whatever you like. Tell us what poke you want and we can make the offset accordingly.

We can make a 35" spec tire work. Keep in mind, this doesn't mean the tire is actually 35". Tires 'actual dimensions' vary by brand. The sizes are 'nominal', not exact. We have a set I just measured, comes in at 34.5".

@T Sportline :
For the rear... is there enough of a fudge factor built in to anticipate good clearance when Tesla increases the rear wheel steering's sweep angle? I'm very interested in wearing a set of BFG KM3's 35x18s.

The rear should be fine (clearance wise) assuming the steering angle stays modest (sub 8%)

you can get the LT3 in 18“ and 20“

best would be 17“ but that seems not to be possible actually
