I have a 5th wheel on standby, I over plan…

Oh wow...over planning indeed.
In my case, I might need to make 2 extra wheels, one for each side (they are directional).
 
The weight of the gravity is no joke. Unfortunately, hit a pothole and you’re done.
 
As a start, Lucid needs to add a feature to detect potholes.
And leave the avoiding part to the driver...even Tesla's FSD struggles with avoiding potholes.

… on non-OEM wheels/tires, especially :p

I've bent two wheels on my Mustang Mach E GT, both in potholes. I'm gonna try the 22 inch all the way around on my LGDE, and takeoff the 23/22s for summertime. I'm kind of wondering if the forgestar wheel might be a bit light for such a heavy vehicle, and running minimal sidewall. I'm going to look into the strength the weight ratios on some of the other possible wheels, like Rays, or Forza that I can get built with that 30 mm offset. I'm also thinking about moving the numbers a little bit on the tire size, and maybe bumping up the aspect to 285/45/22 to get a bit more sidewall buffer. In fact, as I write this, it might be even more advantageous to go to 21s all the way around and make up for the height difference, and realize that the sport car handling might be compromised during the winter, but can grab it back with the 22/23's after the winner ends. Now that you have time on the wheels and tires, please share your experience about Road noise, handling, and the such.

Forgestar is rated for 2200lb per wheel and with the pothole hit I took at 60mph, it’s strong enough.

The vehicle is still quiet and taking turns too fast hurts me before the vehicle slides.

No regrets going with the stock tire sizing (mixed and matched)

As far as adding sidewall, that’s asking for trouble and changing diameter. There is not a lot of extra clearance to do that and will mess with the speedometer and who knows what else.

As far as the Forza wheels, they are also rated at 2200 last I heard and I’m not getting the feeling they are better looking at the price. They say they are forged but I feel they are very heavy and too cheap to be really forged, I could be wrong of course.

My only other idea is to go 315x11” in the rear to give it more stopping power to match the bonkers acceleration. 295 front by 10.5” also an idea but that would be less sidewall than stock.

Whatever you do, stick to stock diameter, don’t give the vehicle extra reasons to go crazy.

I gotta say, these wheels posted on Facebook now have me considering after-market wheels.

You should. The possibilities are endless.

Welllll ... the wife doesn't like the wheels.
Too busy for her. Man! They look nice.

It's my car, but unfortunately her opinion matters to me. Then again, we have 3 children to provide their opinions. We'll see.
 
Quick update:

I ran 50 miles behind Notch EV who has the 5 seater on 20/21” most efficient setup and I was at 0.87 to his efficiency so essentially the same as a Lucid summer tire on 22/23” which I would consider a win since my contact patch to road is higher.

That’s correct for the wheel, how about left and right tire size width?

Based on standard OEM wheels, I'd guess 9.5 inches for right and 10 inches for left.
