This is the clearance you are working with. This pic is from my SR+, but it gives you an idea of where you are going to run into issues.

Tires or rim not clearing? That tire is 1.5" bigger OD than stock, so spacing it out might not buy the clearance you need. Get more details before you take the next step.

Lol, 1.5" bigger than stock OD. Is it just me, or is that really poorly chosen wheel/tire specs? That's fucking huge.

I’m at Tesla right now

245/45/19

FC04 19x9.5 +35 offset

They’re saying the rims don’t clear the control arm in the front and can’t put them on. Anyone know why?

Those are definitely way too big. Spacers aren't gonna do much for ya. The correct size is 235/40/19 but you could easily sneak a 245/40/19 on there. Not sure why you went with a 45 profile tire.

You can always make the argument with the place you bought them from that you can't make these tires fit. See if they'll give you a solid credit at least, especially if you re-buy the correct size from them. Worth a try anyway. But if you do stick with the taller wheels, don't think you'll ever be able to make it work with lowering the car unfortunately.

The specs on this seem much weaker than any atv that you could buy on the market. I mean i guess you need to be less than 150lbs to ride it.

15 Mile Range but only goes 10 MPH which seems super slow. About 10x faster than one of those plastic kids toys that you see kids driving around the neigborhood.

No way a shop sold him a size this out of whack. I'll bet you a case of cheap beer that these were a kijiji find, or ill-informed experiment.

Any tricks to combat the condensation on the inside of the windows? Never had a car that fogged up this much on the inside before during winter. I’ve always got A/C on, no recirc. Might have to get some bags of silica and put them under the seats or something.

[ExtraSlow]

Open the fucking windows. The air outdoors is dry, use that.

[killramos]

Kick the snow off your feet before you get in the vehicle?

Get a wet shop vac and if you come home and have a ton of snow in on the mats from being out and about just vacuum it up so it doesn't stay in the car. Would be my only guess why it all melts and gets humid inside.

[eglove]

Well that escalated quickly lol �� didn’t expect answers like that. But anyways. I feel like an idiot. I didn’t realize when I had people in the car over a week ago that there was snow in the rear floor liners . And the way the floor liners sit they kinda angle forward so there was ice build up under the seat. Couldn’t really see it at first glance cause I have both front seats all the way back when there’s nobody sitting in the back. Cleaned it out and no issues now
