About This Tesla Model X Build
We love featuring real builds from real owners. This Black Tesla Model X sits on a set of 22×9 and 22×10.5-inch ADV.1 ADV6 TRACK SPEC SL wheels, and the result speaks for itself.
The owner chose ADV.1 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 X builds come through WheelFront every month, but this one stands out. The combination of the Black exterior with the ADV.1 ADV6 TRACK SPEC SL creates a look that balances aggression with elegance.
Fitment Breakdown: ADV.1 ADV6 TRACK SPEC SL on the Tesla Model X
I walked around this Model X for twenty minutes, and the fitment is perfection. We went with a 22x9 up front and a meaty 22x10.5 in the rear. These ADV6 Track Spec SL wheels fill those massive wheel arches exactly how they should.
The offset choice here is critical for the Tesla platform. We pushed the wheels out just enough to sit flush with the fenders without poking. You get that aggressive stance that the factory wheels desperately lack.
Caliper clearance on a Model X can be a nightmare because of the heavy duty braking system. These ADV.1s clear the massive rotors with room to spare, thanks to the precision engineering of the barrel. No spacers needed, which keeps the scrub radius exactly where it belongs.
We paid close attention to the hub bore during the build. We went with a direct hub-centric fitment to eliminate any chance of high-speed vibration. On a heavy EV like this, a perfect hub fit is non-negotiable for a smooth ride.
The barrel lip depth on the rear 10.5-inch setup adds serious visual weight to the back of the car. It gives the Model X a planted, rear-wheel-drive aesthetic that looks incredible from the quarter view. The spokes reach right out to the edge of the rim, making the 22s look even larger.
This car is running on lowered links, which tightens up that fender gap significantly. Because the car sits lower, the geometry shifts, so we had to ensure the tires don't touch the liner under full compression. We have zero rubbing, even in hard cornering.
If you plan to slam your X, watch your inner clearance. The rear control arms leave very little room for error if you go too wide. We nailed the balance here with these specs.
What We Recommend for Tesla Model X Owners
If you want to upgrade your Model X, stick to the 22-inch diameter. Anything smaller looks swallowed by the huge body, and 24s will just destroy your ride quality. 22s are the sweet spot for looks and usability.
I always suggest a staggered setup for the X. A wider rear wheel provides that planted look that matches the electric torque output. It also balances the visual weight of the car much better than a square setup.
Watch your offsets like a hawk. Most people push the wheels out too far, which ruins the alignment and shreds your tires. We recommend staying within a five-millimeter variance of our proven specs to keep the handling sharp.
Don't fall for the trap of massive tire stretch. The Model X is a heavy vehicle and needs the sidewall support for safety and comfort. Choose a tire with a decent load rating to handle the battery weight.
Common mistakes? Buying cheap cast wheels that can’t handle the weight of an EV. You need high-strength forged wheels like these ADV.1s to handle the immediate torque and the sheer mass of the chassis. Never cut corners on your rolling stock.
Style and Build Analysis
The Brushed Gloss Liquid Smoke finish is a stroke of genius on a black car. It isn't just plain silver or boring gunmetal. It has a depth that changes depending on how the sun hits the metal.
Against the pitch-black paint, the Liquid Smoke finish pops without looking flashy or cheap. It bridges the gap between a dark aesthetic and a clean, high-end look. It looks sophisticated but clearly means business.
The ADV6 design features clean, elegant lines that complement the Model X's futuristic body. The six-spoke layout is timeless and draws your eye directly to the massive brakes behind them. It’s an understated design that speaks for itself.
The proportions on this build are spot on. Most people add wheels that look like an afterthought, but these look like they came straight from the factory design studio. The stance gives the Model X a much more muscular, athletic silhouette.
I have seen a lot of modified Teslas, but this one stands out for its restraint. It doesn't rely on gaudy body kits or neon colors to grab attention. It relies on perfect geometry, high-quality finishes, and a cohesive design language.
Why We Love This Build
This car is exactly what a modern, enthusiast-focused electric build should look like. Seeing the Liquid Smoke finish catch the light as the car pulls away is pure magic. It’s dark, moody, and perfectly aggressive.
The way those forged barrels fill the arches makes the whole car look like it’s glued to the pavement. It’s rare to see a Model X done this tastefully, and it stops traffic every single time we take it out.
If you want to transform your Tesla from a grocery getter into a head-turning machine, this is the blueprint. Grab a set of ADV.1s and never look back. Your car deserves this upgrade.

Before You Buy: Fitment Checklist
We talk to Tesla Model X 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 X? 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 X 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.
