Default TPMS HElp

I got RacingHart CRs
19x8.5 fronts, 225/35-19
19x9.0 Rears, 235/35-19
i am having problems on putting the TPMS sensors as the valve is in the middle... is there seriously no way to attach the TPMS? so that the light can go off??

SEARCH. and yes there is a way to get rid of the light. go to FAQ and you should find the answer you're looking for.

or type "pipe bomb" into the search bar

Just get the iForged TPMS adapters. Call them directly - you should be able to get a set for $80 and retain your TPMS functionality.

The FAQ says to put the plastic things under it and to use cable ties... not going to do it to my car....

^That's exactly what I just posted, but you can get them cheaper directly from iForged.

Check out 'banding' as well. Basically a giant hose clamp you use to attach the TPMS to the barrell of the wheel. Works perfect..just make sure your tire shop knows they are there for any future service on the tires..or they can snap them off very easily

Works like this
