Keep the 18”, you will get a smoother ride, and not have vulnerability to potholes. Just be careful with inclines. That is go slow over them and approach from an angle letting one tire touch first then roll across slowly. Overall you will save money an prolong the tire. Also a lower car performs better at high speeds due to better drag coefficient.
I bought mine lowered on Unplugged Performance Suspension kit. Its looks awesome and performs cornering like the best sports cars out there. But I cannot take hitting all the bumps, and can't get into half the business's driveways. Even my own parking spot at home is uneven and I bottom our there. I measured 5" from the mudgaurd protection area. Tire place couldn't even get their low profile jack under the car. I had to buy ramps just to be able to jack the car. I'm on 20's.
First and foremost, condolences about your Dad. Car looks beautiful. Looks best in white. Love the extra bits, e.g. brake discs, spoiler. 18” look great.
No leave it it looks really good like this and it rides better with the 18’s bigger wheels just means more bigger problems this car probably rides really good it’s goin to rub here and there but it’s worth it it looks great
It looks great like this. I’m thinking of doing the exact same set up with H&Rs and spacers on standard 18” rims. They mud protector are called Mud Flaps or Mudguards, based on where in the world you live.
Hi, Wize my M3 LR will arrive end of May😩 I want to keep the 18" wheels and I love your setup with the lug nut covers and spacers. I will do the same to my car, thank you for sharing. Your car looks great and I hope you find a good solution for your springs setup. Please accept my condolences about your dad.
Thank you very much 😔. Indeed it looks good with the 18" and the aero caps. And even better with springs and spacers! You're going to love your 3, it is a great overall car
It looks beautiful, i wouldn’t bother changing to 20 inches wheels… put some 18” Martian MW3 on that baby and it will look great.. 18” are lighter than 20”, you will have better performance and better comfort…
A year later after this video has been posted; what is your conclusion and what did you decide on for your car ? Personally, I would stay with the 18's and just get the coil overs for your car. I just lowered by 2023 Model 3 a few weeks ago and I got the Tein Flex Z coil over system. 20mm spacers on all four corners with a MPP rear camber linkage. I plan on changing the stock tow-in links to the MPP as well soon. ZevCentric is the shop that did all the work and they lowered the car to 2.54cm (1 inch) all the way around. I still have the stock 18's, just like yours on my car. Let me know what you have decided on.
I sold the Model 3 last February as we got scammed while building our new house and needed money… I ordered a facelift Model 3 but ended up canceling it as there’s another EV in my radar. I may come back to making videos when that one will arrive. Glad to now you worked out your setup well
You can use any size wheels, as long as your roll diameter remains the same, which it is meant to. I would go with 20 inch wheels and a 245/35 R20 tire. That should be fine. If you want a front lip bit are concerned about scraping go with the Unplugged Performance front lip. That has the same ground clearance as it has now.
it's not going to touch...if you go 20's the wheel will get larger, but the overall diameter will be pretty much the same...so as the wheel gets bigger, the tire gets thinner...that being said...you need to be concerned with offset more...seeing how low yours is...I would go with a +30 or35 if you want to be careful... I'll be going with +22. the lower the number the more the wheel will come out of the fender to get that flush look
@@WiZe1972 with the car lowered this much it will be fine...the lower you go the more clearance you will have...that's why cars with air suspension can have super aggressive offsets and super wide wheels...they are so low the wheels get pushed in more.
@@WiZe1972 @@WiZe1972 20's SOUND nice and looks nice too, but I was seriously on the fence about this...and I 've been building cars for YEARS!!!....I went with some wide 19's..and I'm telling you that 1 day you bend your wheels and that one day when you have nothing but a rough ride you will regret the 20's...they are bigger yes, but not THAT much...going to a 19" setup with a wheel that has a Lip will give you that "BIGGER" look....that's my recommendation...good luck
Always drive sideways when coming in to a drive way, same goes for coming out from a driveway on lower car it help alot not rubbing, my car is way lower than your, 1.3 inch drop is nothing
Doesn’t look that low, just gotta get used to it. And I’d just stay with the 18s. This car isn’t really worth modding that much because it’s everywhere, so just keeping it simple would be the best look imo.
@@WiZe1972 It looks clean. Can I ask what torque spec did you mount the wheel to the spacers, and what spec did you torque the spacers to the wheel hub? Thanks
I loved everything you’ve done to your car, but this is in my oponion excessive. The car looks like it is overweight. Please don’t do that to your cars…
@@eddiexiang3606 setup looks great! With coilovers you can raise it up a bit and make it custom to your liking. I too went wider on my tires with stock 20” rims and love it.
Hello.. which H&R lowering springs did you purchase? Your car looked amazing
It actually doesn't look that low. More of a moderate drop with still some wheel gap remaining.
im sorry for your loss brother!!
this looks absolutely perfect..
Yes! Too bad I’ve been stupid enough to sell it… Even if I’m enjoying my current Polestar 2 BST230, I miss Tesla and will eventually come back
@@WiZe1972 now you're edgy with the polestar
United we stand, devided we fall. God bless Switzerland

I feel you! I much prefer a more raised ride now.
How much did you lower to?
Great update Wize!! 💯👍🙏

Thank you. Just put the 20" summer wheels and it looks dope. I'll try to make a video over the weekend
@@WiZe1972 Wow, I can't wait to see it🤩
@@WiZe1972 Great. Look forward to seeing that video.
Mind sharing what kind of h&r springs are they? Also, are you running some spacers on the wheels? They look flush! Looks so good
Just H&R springs for Tesla Model 3 Long Range, that’s how I bought them ☺️. For the 18” wheels set, got also 20mm rear and 18mm front spacers
@@WiZe1972 thank you sir!
No leave it it looks really good like this and it rides better with the 18’s bigger wheels just means more bigger problems this car probably rides really good it’s goin to rub here and there but it’s worth it it looks great
H&R is the best. Car looks great.
Great look!
How's the ride?
Stiff... I feel like I'm driving a real sport car
@@WiZe1972 I think it is too hard… I am considering going einbach or standard….
@@zippodk Yeah I should have got Eibach ones...
How much did you pay for installation Im planning on doing the same to my model Y looks great man I would leave it
Price May vary, especially if you don't live in Switzerland. The best thing to do is to ask several places
It looks great like this. I’m thinking of doing the exact same set up with H&Rs and spacers on standard 18” rims.

Yep, it does look great but I have to be careful, especially since I’ve added a front lip 😬
@@WiZe1972 hopefully will be fine when you move in to your new home 👍
Go air suspension. You will not have problems with being too low/too high
Hello. She is really beautiful 😍😍😍😍😍do you think what you did won't void the car warranty?
Not at all, the springs are homologated within swiss regulations
Looks great!!!!
Even better in real!
love this set up, wonder if its too low for snow
It depends on the amount of snow ☺️

Thanks, ride comfort remains stiff, same as without the lower springs. I would have loved adaptive dumpers on the 3
Is this the 2022 model?
Got it on September 2021, so I expect it to be a 2022 model. Got the matrix headlights

I think it’s about 3.5cm
So when are you gonna back to an Audi? A decent car...
With the exception of the A5 series, no Audi attracts me at the moment... I'm over with it and happy with my Tesla
@@WiZe1972 Audi E-tron GT RS?
@@Dw1nl Way too expensive! I like the exterior but the cabin is disappointing, I would prefer the taycan
@@WiZe1972 maybe new Audi A6 Etron or the Avant. (P.s. own a Tesla myself)
what year is you m3?
Got it on September 2021
I say switch to Eibach springs if they are a bit higher for peace of mind. I believe the HR springs drop the front 1.4inch and eibach 1.0inch
I'd like to do that but it's going to be costly
@@WiZe1972 it’s cheaper than getting coilovers
Is 4 tenths of an inch really gonna fix this guys problem?
20mm drop is the safest for the model 3 from my experience.
@@WiZe1972 Unplugged performance has a mild drop set that lowers it 0.7" all around. This is what I'm getting.
just raise it back up to normal...
