Problem transfering TPMS to new rims

initialgemini · 02-11-2010, 11:55 AM

I recently install some new rims; however, the valve stems won't fit on the new rims.

Does anyone know of aftermarket sensors that work on our car and have a thinner stem?

On my first set of aftermarket rims I had to drill the holes out just a little bit to get the sensors to fit. There's a strap system available that wraps around the inner barrel but from what I've heard they almost always fail and the sensor ends up loose in there and gets damaged.

yeah I definitely don't want to drill into these rims lol. I'm trying to get replacement units that will fit through the holes that are there.

I was nervous too, took a couple weeks of the annoying flashing TPMS light to motivate me.

I found these through a search, but I'm not sure if the stem is thinner. Anyone try these?

I guess cause a little common sense and a drill solves the problem.....

Pardon me, if I'm trying to find another way. I simply do not prefer drilling into new wheels.

I had to have a seperate hole drilled on the inside of my wheel so the TPMS would fit. Now I have a second valve stem just for that system. I do not want any warnings in my cluster. Some don't mind and just ignore it with their aftermarket wheels.
