What size wheels come on a 2020 Tesla 3 Performance model?

The 2020 Tesla Model 3 Performance came with 20-inch wheels.

For the 2020 Performance model, Tesla fitted large performance-oriented wheels commonly associated with the car’s Uberturbine design. The factory setup used low-profile performance tyres, helping the Model 3 deliver sharper steering response and stronger grip than versions fitted with smaller wheels.

The wheel size refers to the diameter of the wheel itself, not the complete tyre-and-wheel diameter. The standard Performance fitment used 20-inch wheels with 235/35R20 tyres. Tesla’s published specifications list the wheel as 20 inches wide in diameter, with the front and rear wheel widths differing on some factory configurations.

The larger wheels were part of the Performance model’s hardware package, alongside upgraded brakes, lowered suspension, and more powerful dual-motor all-wheel drive. They also brought trade-offs: low-profile tyres generally provide less cushioning over potholes and can be more vulnerable to impact damage than taller-sidewall tyres. Owners sometimes mention 19-inch or 18-inch Model 3 wheels, but those belong to other trims or optional winter and replacement setups, not the standard 2020 Performance configuration.
