About This Tesla Model S Build
We love featuring real builds from real owners. This Black Tesla Model S sits on a set of 22×9 and 22×10.5-inch Vossen CV10 wheels, and the result speaks for itself.
The owner chose Vossen for a reason. This brand delivers serious quality and a design language that turns heads at every car meet. We see hundreds of Tesla Model S builds come through WheelFront every month, but this one stands out. The combination of the Black exterior with the Vossen CV10 creates a look that balances aggression with elegance.
Fitment Breakdown: Vossen CV10 on the Tesla Model S
I walked up to this Model S and immediately noticed the 22-inch stance. The Vossen CV10 setup runs a 22x9 up front and a massive 22x10.5 in the rear. This staggered configuration perfectly balances the heavy Tesla chassis.
We specifically measured the offsets to push these wheels right to the edge of the fenders. The front 22x9 sits flush without catching the liner during full steering lock. You get that aggressive look without destroying your wheel wells.
Caliper clearance on these big Teslas always worries me, but the CV10 design handles it well. Vossen engineered the barrel to clear the massive factory brakes easily. We did not need to run any risky spacers to make this work.
The hub bore matches the Tesla spec perfectly. You avoid the nightmare of hub-centric rings that eventually start vibrating at highway speeds. This connection feels solid and factory-tight.
I love the depth on that 10.5-inch rear barrel. The concave profile really pulls the eye toward the center cap. It turns the rear end of this Tesla into a much more muscular machine.
We see a lot of people ruin their fitment with the wrong tire height. On this build, we kept the sidewall tight to ensure the fender gap disappears. It hugs the arch without the tires rubbing on the inner plastic.
This car sits on aftermarket links that drop the ride height just enough. The lowered center of gravity makes the 22-inch wheels look like they belong there. You have to be careful with speed bumps, but the aesthetic payoff is massive.
What We Recommend for Tesla Model S Owners
Stick to the 22-inch diameter if you want that high-end show car look. Anything smaller gets swallowed up by the long profile of the Model S. We always suggest a staggered setup for the best visual impact.
Find your offset sweet spot before you order your set. We usually aim for a slightly more aggressive offset in the rear to fill out the quarter panel. Avoid going too wide, or you will deal with annoying road spray on your paint.
Tire choice matters as much as the wheel itself. We recommend a high-performance tire with a stiff sidewall to handle the weight of the battery pack. Do not cheap out on rubber because your range and grip depend on it.
Forget about fender rolling on a modern Tesla. The aluminum structure makes it a headache you want to avoid at all costs. Get the wheel specs right the first time so you never have to touch the bodywork.
The biggest mistake I see is choosing a heavy wheel that kills your efficiency. The Vossen CV10 offers a great balance of strength and weight. You keep the performance edge while gaining a massive upgrade in style.
Style and Build Analysis
The Silver Polished finish against the Black paint is a classic, unbeatable combo. Black cars can sometimes look like a blob, but these bright wheels break up the darkness. They reflect the light and give the car a high-end, jewelry-like quality.
Vossen nailed the spoke design on the CV10. The thin, twisted spokes look like they are spinning even when the car sits parked. It creates a sense of motion that suits the electric torque of the Tesla perfectly.
The stance defines the entire build. When you look at the car from the side, the proportions look like a concept sketch come to life. The wheels fill the arches so well that the car looks like it was engineered for this specific setup.
I have seen hundreds of modified Teslas, but this one hits differently. Many builds go for the murdered-out look, which hides all the detail. This polished finish makes the wheel design pop against the black bodywork.
Every time I look at this car, I see more detail in the spokes. It feels sophisticated rather than shouty. You get a executive-sport look that works just as well at a business meeting as it does at a car show.
Why We Love This Build
This Model S captures everything we love about automotive customization. The way the Silver Polished Vossen wheels dance in the sunlight against that deep black paint is pure art. It turns a standard commuter into a total showstopper.
The fitment is so tight that it looks like the car was carved from a single block of steel. Seeing this thing roll down the street makes me want to drop everything and build my own. It is clean, purposeful, and absolutely mean.
This is the ultimate example of how a set of wheels can transform a platform. You do not need to hack up the body to make a statement. Do it right, keep it clean, and let the fitment speak for itself.

Before You Buy: Fitment Checklist
We talk to Tesla Model S owners every day. These are the questions we hear most before they pull the trigger on new wheels.
Will 22×9 and 22×10.5-inch wheels fit my Tesla Model S? Yes, but fitment depends on width, offset, and tire size working together. A wrong offset means rubbing. A wrong tire size means poor handling. Always verify all three.
Do I need to modify my fenders? That depends on your offset and suspension. A conservative offset with stock ride height usually fits without modification. Go aggressive and you may need to roll or pull your fenders.
Can I daily-drive this setup? Absolutely. Thousands of Tesla Model S owners run 22×9 and 22×10.5-inch wheels every day. The key is choosing the right tire with enough sidewall to absorb road imperfections.
