Tesla Model Y
Tesla Model Y forged wheel fitment for Singapore and international EV owners. 5x114.3 PCD, 64.1 mm hub-centric machining, 950 kg EV load target and 2,100 Nm torque-load review, referenced against recorded LFI customer builds and specified from the car outward.
LFI forged wheels for the Tesla Model Y use 5x114.3 PCD, 64.1 centre bore, 950 kg load target, 2,100 Nm torque target, with width, offset, tyre support, and brake clearance matched to the actual car before production.
For a Tesla Model Y, LFI recommends choosing a forged wheel around the actual vehicle: hub-centric 64.1 mm machining, brake-template clearance, tyre load-index review, a practical 950 kg per-wheel EV load target where the wheel family allows it, and a rounded 2,100 Nm static torque-load review. LFI does not treat IATF quality-system language as proof of wheel load testing; selected LFI reference specifications have been physically tested to JWL conditions through TUV SUD lab reporting, while custom Model Y specifications are matched to the car, tyre, offset, load target, and intended use before production.
For Model Y owners, the wheel decision is beyond diameter and stance. LFI reviews total wheel and tyre weight, tyre diameter, tyre load index, brake template and 64.1 mm hub-centric fit before quoting, so a lighter forged setup can support range-sensitive daily use while staying matched to the factory brake package.
Chassis-Matched
Width, offset, and concavity specified to the vehicle — specified from measured vehicle requirements rather than shelf-size assumptions.
Brake Clearance
Spoke profile, barrel contour, and backpad machined to the brake package on the exact car.
Forged Response
Lower unsprung mass sharpens steering, braking feel, and ride control — immediately noticeable from the first drive.
| Area | Guide value | Fitment note |
|---|---|---|
| PCD | 5x114.3 / 5x114.3/5x112 | Confirmed at order time. |
| Centre bore | 64.1 / 73.1 to 64.1 | Machine hub-centric to the confirmed car. |
| Wheel sizes | 20x9.5 ET33 / 20x9.5 ET33 / 21x9.5 ET28 / 21x10.5 ET40 / 19x8.5 ET25 | Confirmed at order time. |
| Wheel models | CSF6 / REX-02 / CSF1 V3 / Signature Concave | Face profile is selected around brake clearance and load specification. |
This setup was designed to maximize concavity while keeping the wheel suitable for the Model Y s vehicle weight and brake clearance requirements. The 20x9.5 ET33 square configuration gives a more aggressive stance than stock while maintaining the ability to rotate tires front-to-rear.
The 255/40R20 tyre keeps the factory-style tyre diameter, while 265/40R20 adds more rim protection and a slightly fuller sidewall appearance.
The primary row is drawn from recorded LFI build data. Alternate rows are specification directions — brake template, tyre shoulder, load target, and ride height are confirmed at order time.
| Direction | Wheel size | Wheel model | Best for | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Primary | 20x9.5 ET33 | CSF6 | Real LFI build record | LFI customer fitment record. Confirm tyre shoulder, brake template, ride height, and final offset. |
| Alternate | 20x9.5 ET33 | REX-02 | Customer-proven direction | LFI customer fitment record. Confirm tyre shoulder, brake template, ride height, and final offset. |
| Additional | 21x9.5 ET28 / 21x10.5 ET40 | CSF1 V3 | Customer-proven direction | LFI customer fitment record. Confirm tyre shoulder, brake template, ride height, and final offset. |

Wheel strength is not a single number. Vertical load, braking torque, drive torque, spoke-root stress, hub-pad stress, and bolt-seat behavior are all part of the engineering package — validated together, not in isolation.
The Tesla Model Y has a verified GAWR of 1636 kg — 818 kg per wheel at the axle. LFI targets 950 kg per wheel, providing meaningful reserve.
Wheel strength is broader than vertical load. LFI also reviews acceleration, braking, cornering, potholes, tyre grip, hub-pad stress, bolt-seat stress, spoke-root stress, and rim-barrel torque reaction against an approximately 2,100 Nm per wheel static torque load target.
For the full engineering story behind each wheel, LFI's How LFI Wheels Are Made page covers design, forging, CNC machining, finishing, and quality control.
| Wheel load rating | Per-axle equivalent | Margin vs axle baseline | Status | How LFI positions it |

| 950 kg | 1900 kg per axle | +16% vs 818 kg/wheel | Green - Preferred | Street, fast-road, and daily use. |
| Validation load case | Reference basis | Suggested LFI target | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| Radial vehicle load | Vehicle mass, passengers, tyre package, and selected wheel load specification | 950 kg preferred target | Vehicle mass and sustained road loading. |
| Torque load | Conservative 1g dry braking check with 60% front bias | ~2,100 Nm per wheel | Loads the hub pad, bolt seats, spoke roots, and rim barrel. |
| Cornering load | Lateral force from road grip, sticky tires, and fast-road or track use | Application-specific | Lateral loading under cornering. |
| Combined static load case | Radial load + torque load + cornering load | Application-specific | Real-world loads are combined, not isolated. |

This setup was designed to maximize concavity while keeping the wheel suitable for the Model Y s vehicle weight and brake clearance requirements. The 20x9.5 ET33 square configuration gives a more aggressive stance than stock while maintaining the ability to rotate tires front-to-rear.
The 255/40R20 tyre keeps the factory-style tyre diameter, while 265/40R20 adds more rim protection and a slightly fuller sidewall appearance.
This Tesla Model Y Juniper customer build uses a19x9.5 ET35 squareMF49 forged setup with direct5x114.3 / 64.1 mmhub-centric fitment. The polished silver finish gives the Juniper a clean OEM+ appearance while the 9.6 kg target keeps the setup lighter than many factory-style cast alternatives.
The 19-inch square configuration is a practical direction for Model Y owners who want more sidewall, better daily-road comfort, lower tyre cost, and front-to-rear tyre rotation without moving into a harsh 21-inch package.
This AZ80+RE magnesium setup was developed for owners who want a very lightweight 20-inch wheel without moving to a smaller diameter. Reducing wheel weight can improve steering response, suspension control, and acceleration feel. Efficiency gains may also be possible, although actual range improvement depends on tyre model, driving style, road condition, and total wheel/tyre weight.
This staggered 21-inch setup is aimed at owners who want the factory Performance-style tyre sizing with a more aggressive forged wheel fitment. The ET28 front and ET40 rear offsets help the wheels sit closer to flush with the fenders while retaining practical tyre sizing.
Because 21-inch wheels have shorter tyre sidewalls, this setup prioritizes appearance and steering response over ride comfort.
This customer requested a deep-dish appearance with a larger visible outer lip. LFI used a 2-piece forged construction to tune the barrel and face position separately while maintaining brake clearance and structural targets.
The wider 265/35R21 and 285/35R21 tires create a more muscular look, but this fitment should be checked carefully for clearance depending on vehicle height and tyre brand.
This fitment uses a concave profile blank to push the hub centre visually deeper while retaining a practical 20-inch square setup. The square configuration allows tyre rotation and is well suited to daily driving.
This setup is designed for owners who want more tyre width while keeping a square configuration. A 20x10 ET39 wheel with 275/40R20 tires gives a wider contact patch and a fuller wheel arch appearance.
This is a more aggressive setup than the standard 20x9.5 square recommendation, so LFI recommends confirming tyre brand, suspension height, and inner clearance before production.
This setup was designed for a clean OEM+ look using aftermarket floating Tesla-style centre caps. The 20x9.5 ET35 fitment gives a slightly wider stance than many factory setups while keeping the design subtle and suitable for daily use.

Model year, trim, brake package, tyre target, ride height, alignment, PCD, centre bore, hardware seat, centre-cap plan, finish, load target, and intended use.
They can. Range depends on total wheel and tyre weight, tyre model, tyre diameter, pressure, driving style and road conditions. LFI keeps Model Y fitment range-aware by reviewing forged wheel weight, tyre choice and diameter before production.
Aftermarket wheels do not automatically decide a vehicle warranty outcome. LFI reduces fitment risk by matching PCD, hub-centric bore, load target, tyre diameter, brake clearance and hardware before the wheels are made. Owners should still follow Tesla service guidance for vehicle warranty questions.
Yes, when the exact brake package is reviewed. LFI checks caliper template data, barrel shape, spoke profile, backpad and offset before production, especially for Model Y Performance and larger brake packages.
Yes. LFI supports Singapore and Malaysia locally, and ships worldwide with remote fitment consultation.
Yes. Every finish is custom — gloss, satin, brushed, polished, bronze, black, silver, and bespoke options are available.
No. The photographed setup is a reference. Width, offset, concavity, finish, and tyre pairing are adjusted to your car and priorities.
Yes, when the caliper template, barrel profile, spoke shape, backpad, and offset are specified correctly. LFI validates brake clearance as part of the build.
Yes. A comfort-biased setup uses conservatively sized wheels and tyres with enough sidewall for road use.
Yes. Fender clearance, steering lock, tyre shoulder, ride height, and alignment must be reviewed as a package.
Yes, when the cap diameter, clip style, pocket depth, and face profile are specified in the build.
Yes. A square setup gives you tyre rotation, predictable handling, and a clean road package.
Yes. Staggered setups are available when the platform, tyre diameters, and drivetrain support them.
Two tyres with identical printed sizes can fit differently. Shoulder profile affects fender clearance, steering lock clearance, and final stance.
Offset alone does not describe a wheel. Width, tyre size, brake clearance, hub geometry, concavity, and ride height all determine whether the setup works.
Yes. International orders are supported with remote fitment consultation.
Share your model year, brake package, tyre target, ride height, alignment, centre-cap plan, and finish target so LFI can confirm the forged wheel specification.
