About This Tesla Model S Build
We love featuring real builds from real owners. This Red Tesla Model S sits on a set of 22-inch Avant Garde M615 wheels, and the result speaks for itself.
The owner chose Avant Garde 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 Red exterior with the Avant Garde M615 creates a look that balances aggression with elegance.
Fitment Breakdown: Avant Garde M615 on the Tesla Model S
I walked around this red Model S for twenty minutes and the stance blew me away. We slapped 22-inch Avant Garde M615s on this beast to completely transform the factory silhouette. The diameter fills the massive wheel wells perfectly without looking like a wagon wheel.
We dialed in the offset to push those spokes right to the edge of the fender. You need that aggressive stance on a car this heavy to keep it from looking tucked. The M615 design offers plenty of room for those oversized Tesla calipers, too.
The 503 Motoring lowering links were the secret sauce for this build. They dropped the ride height just enough to close that ugly factory gap. Without those links, this 22-inch setup would have looked like a monster truck.
Fitment on a Tesla requires precision because the hub bore is specific. We made sure these wheels seat perfectly to avoid any nasty vibrations at highway speeds. You cannot cut corners on a heavy EV build.
The spoke design on the M615 flows beautifully with the sharp lines of the Model S. It creates a cleaner profile that draws the eye toward the center of the wheel. We love how the barrel depth adds just enough muscle to the side profile.
Watch out for rubbing if you decide to go this low. I checked the inner liners and we have just enough clearance during a full lock turn. Always measure twice before you commit to this level of poke.
This setup works because we prioritized utility alongside the aesthetic. You get the show car look without sacrificing the ability to actually drive the car hard. Everything clears, everything tucks, and everything looks mean.
What We Recommend for Tesla Model S Owners
If you want to run 22s on your Model S, keep your width reasonable. We see guys go too wide and regret the tramlining on the highway. Stick to a width that keeps the tire sidewall square to the road.
The offset sweet spot for this platform sits right between plus-30 and plus-35. Anything more aggressive will force you to roll your fenders, which is a headache you don't want. We prefer a clean bolt-on experience every single time.
Forget about running a square setup if you want that true sports car look. Staggering the wheels gives the car a planted, rear-wheel-drive aesthetic that suits the Tesla perfectly. It handles better and looks ten times more expensive.
Don't skimp on your tire choice when you move to a 22-inch wheel. We suggest a high-performance summer tire to handle the instant torque of the electric motors. Cheap tires will break loose every time you stomp the pedal.
Common mistakes usually involve buying the wrong bolt pattern or failing to account for the weight of the car. Make sure your load rating is sufficient for the battery pack weight. A failure here is dangerous and ruins the ride quality.
Style and Build Analysis
The brushed and polished finish on these M615s creates a brilliant contrast against that deep red paint. It’s a classic combo that looks sophisticated rather than flashy. When the light hits the polished surfaces, the car pops from a block away.
I’ve seen plenty of murdered-out Teslas, but this build feels much more intentional. The metallic sheen of the wheels highlights the body lines of the Model S. It makes the car look faster even when it sits parked in the garage.
The M615 spoke pattern balances the futuristic curves of the Tesla body. It’s an elegant, multi-spoke design that feels modern without being over-styled. We think it’s the best wheel for this particular chassis.
Road presence is where this car really wins the trophy. It commands attention because the proportions feel spot-on. It’s not just another EV; it’s a performance machine with a clear vision.
Compared to other builds we’ve featured, this one shows restraint. We didn't need wild widebody kits or neon lights to make a statement. The wheel and suspension combo carries the entire aesthetic on its own shoulders.
Why We Love This Build
This red Model S captures everything we love about the car scene. The way the brushed finish catches the sun against the deep red paint is pure automotive art. It turns a standard commuter into a street-legal dream.
Seeing those 22-inch wheels tucked perfectly under the arches makes my heart race. It’s a clean, aggressive look that proves you don't need to ruin your daily driver to make it look special. This build inspires us to keep pushing the limits of what a Tesla can be.
If you have a Model S, stop sitting on stock wheels and make the jump. Seeing this thing in person proved that a solid set of wheels changes your entire ownership experience. Just go build it.

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-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-inch wheels every day. The key is choosing the right tire with enough sidewall to absorb road imperfections.
