      Variant Alloy Wheels

      Quick answer: The Tesla Model S Plaid (2021+) uses a 5×120 bolt pattern and runs a staggered setup. Variant builds forged wheels for the Plaid in a staggered 20×10 front / 20×11 rear fitment (a 20×9 / 20×10 option is also available) — and for a premium, fully bespoke look, the Plaid can step up to multi-piece 3-piece or lightweight EX2. Every set is forged, hub-centric, machined to the Model S's factory hub bore, and built to clear the factory brakes — including the carbon-ceramic track package. Shop all Model S Plaid wheels →

      Tesla Model S Plaid fitment basics

      • Bolt pattern: 5×120
      • Setup: Staggered — a wider rear than front
      • Variant fitments: 20×10 / 20×11 (primary) or 20×9 / 20×10
      • Hub-centric: machined to the Model S's hub bore, so no vibration and no hub-centric rings needed
      • TPMS: fully compatible with your factory Tesla sensors

      The Variant Plaid fitment

      Variant builds the Model S Plaid in a staggered 20×10 / 20×11 forged setup, with a 20×9 / 20×10 option for a slightly more conservative width. A 20-inch forged wheel sharpens the Plaid's stance while keeping weight down — which matters on a heavy, high-performance EV.

      Forged monoblock designs for the Plaid

      The forged monoblock designs below are the most popular starting point for the Plaid — each forged from a single piece of 6061-T6 for a clean, premium look: the Maxim, Nysa, Rian, Sena, and Zeno. Finishes are fully customizable — popular Plaid choices include Gloss Black, Satin Black, Gloss Gunmetal, Satin Gunmetal, Gloss Bronze, Satin Bronze, Raw Milled, and Chrome Powder.

      Going custom: multi-piece & built-to-order options for your Plaid

      For a premium, one-of-one look, the Plaid can go beyond monoblock — every set is built to order:

      • 3-Piece Forged (3P & 3P+): a forged center, barrel, and lip with fully customizable face, lip depth, and hardware — the most luxurious, bespoke option for a flagship EV.
      • EX2 (EVO 2-piece): the EVO designs in a lightweight two-piece build — a smart way to trim unsprung weight on a heavy EV.
      • 2-Piece Forged: a forged face on a forged barrel for a clean custom look with more spec flexibility than a monoblock.
      • EVO Beadlock (EBL): a true beadlock-style wheel for track use.

      All are made to order to your exact Plaid fitment. Request a quote to spec a custom build.

      Why forged matters on a Plaid

      The Model S Plaid is heavy and brutally quick, so unsprung weight really matters. Variant's forged wheels are made from 6061-T6 aerospace-grade aluminum — stronger and lighter than cast or flow-formed wheels — which sharpens handling, improves ride quality, and helps put the Plaid's power down. Lighter wheels can also help an EV feel more responsive.
