2008 Tesla Roadster Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 2008 Tesla Roadster uses a 5x110 bolt pattern and rolls on 16x6 front wheels at 25mm offset paired with staggered 17x7.5 rear wheels at 36mm offset from the factory. You can step up to 16-inch or 17-inch options across multiple widths—front choices range from 16x7 to 16x9, while rear sizes span 17x7 to 17x9—all while maintaining that staggered setup for balanced handling and appearance.
The 5x110 bolt pattern is the only configuration that will fit your Roadster, so verify any wheel's pattern before purchase. Your hub center bore measures 65.1mm; if a wheel's bore exceeds that size, use hub-centric rings to ensure proper centering and vibration-free operation. Aggressive offsets or excessively wide wheels risk interference with your fender lips and suspension geometry, so stay within the compatible sizes listed to avoid costly rub.
Every wheel we stock for your Roadster is guaranteed to bolt on safely, and we ship free to the lower 48 states. Heritage Wheel, Motegi Racing, Performance Replicas, Petrol, ESR Wheels, Vors, KATANA RACING, and Vision all offer fitments ready to order today.
