Post Is TPMS compatible with Work VS-XX?

I brought my car to America's Tire and they said they couldn't install it. Any suggestions?

Some VS-XX are and some aren't. The set I owned before had an extra hole drilled that fit the OEM sensors. You can have another hole drilled for your TPMS to fit or you can go get some TPMS brackets.

Search and you will find as I have answered this before. I've been seeing way too many of the same threads lately

You will need a TPMS adapter (L shaped) that replaces the stem valve. Only specific wheel sizes can use the adapters according to Work's site. I believe 19" and 20" works fine, but I suggest you pull up their website and browse around.

I have purchased mine off ebay member luminicsusa. Ask him for these as I'm not sure they are listed. There was another member who went with these per my recommendation.

Here's their email if you would like to inquire about it: ebay@luminicsusa.com. I am in no way associated with them.
