Expert Buying Guide for 2013 Tesla Model S
For your 2013 Tesla Model S, the critical center bore is 64.1mm. Aftermarket wheels often have a larger bore, requiring hub-centric rings to prevent vibrations and ensure proper load distribution. The offset is sensitive; stock is 40mm, but a range of 35–45mm is acceptable for flush fitment. Deviating too far risks rubbing or clearance issues. Always use lug nuts with the correct thread pitch (14x1.50) and seat type (cone or ball seat, depending on the wheel). Mismatched lug nuts can cause wheel loosening or damage. Verify that aftermarket wheels are hub-centric or use rings, and check offset carefully to maintain safety and performance.

Quick Tips & Safety Warnings
- ✅ Re-torque lug nuts after 50–100 miles of driving to ensure proper seating.
- ✅ When using aftermarket wheels, always confirm the hub bore is at least 64.1mm; use hub-centric rings if larger.
- ✅ Avoid spacers unless necessary; if used, ensure they are hub-centric and do not reduce thread engagement below 8 full turns.
- ⚠️ Confirm bolt pattern carefully. 5x120 is often confused with other common 5-lug patterns.
- ⚠️ Torque lugs in a star pattern to 100 ft-lbs (135 Nm), then re-check torque after 50-100 km (30-60 miles).

What is the bolt pattern for a 2013 Tesla Model S?
The 2013 Tesla Model S uses a 5x120 bolt pattern (also called lug pattern or PCD). The center bore is 64.1mm and the offset is 40mm.
What other years of Tesla Model S have the same bolt pattern as the 2013?
The Tesla Model S uses the 5x120 pattern from 2012 through 2024. Wheels from any of these model years are dimensionally compatible with the 2013, provided the offset and center bore also match.
How do I measure the bolt pattern on my 2013 Tesla?
The 2013 Model S uses a 5x120 pattern. For 4, 6, or 8-lug wheels, measure center-to-center across opposite holes. For 5-lug, measure from the center of one hole to the back of the opposite hole.
What lug nut size does the 2013 Tesla Model S use?
The 2013 Tesla Model S uses N 14x1.50 lug nuts. Always verify the thread pitch and seat type (cone, ball, or flat) match your aftermarket wheels.
Why is matching the 64.1mm center bore important for the 2013 Model S?
The 64.1mm center bore ensures the wheel is perfectly centered on the hub. If the wheel is lug-centric instead of hub-centric, you may experience steering wheel vibration at highway speeds.
Can I put aftermarket wheels on my 2013 Tesla Model S?
Absolutely. Just ensure the aftermarket wheels have a 5x120 bolt pattern, an offset near 40mm, and a center bore of at least 64.1mm (using hub rings if larger).
