How we verifyKey specifications for the Tesla Model 3 (2017–2024, pre-Highland) — dimensions, wheels and tires, cold tire pressures, and wheel-nut torque, from the Tesla owner manual. Power, weight and range vary by variant (RWD, Long Range AWD, Performance) — check the label on your car’s door pillar for exact figures.
Each column is one specific vehicle — a single engine or motor and, where shown, body style. Dimensions and several weights are specific to that body and drivetrain; other body or powertrain versions differ, so match the column to your own vehicle.

Thinking of different wheels or tyres? will they clear your Tesla Model 3 arches? → Our wheel-offset & backspacing tool opens prefilled with this tyre's OEM fitment (18": 235/45 R18 · 19": 235/40 R19 · 20": 235/35 R20) so you can see the change in poke, clearance and speedometer error.
