Expert Buying Guide for 2022 Tesla Model 3
For your 2022 Tesla Model 3, the bolt pattern is 5x114.3 with a center bore of 64.1mm. When selecting aftermarket wheels, ensure the center bore matches or use hub-centric rings to prevent vibrations. The offset is sensitive; the factory offset is 40mm, but a range of 35-45mm is acceptable for proper clearance. Avoid offsets below 30mm to prevent rubbing. Lug nuts are 14x1.5 thread pitch with a conical (60-degree) seat. Never use ball-seat lug nuts, as they can loosen. Always re-torque after 50 miles of driving.
