I was wondering how many of you with aftermarket wheels are running without tpms sensors. I just receive my new wheels. However they are not drilled for the sensors. I can deal with the idiot light always on but would it cause other problems if the tpms is alarming. I have read about traction control issues. If I must install them I prefer not to drill the wheels and go with the adapter clips from iforge or epoxy them. Thanks.

 

What does that mean? The sensors are attached inside of the wheel. There are no special holes to be drilled. Don't you have valve holes in your wheels?

 

Sorry should be more clear. The wheels are Work VS-XXs and the hole diameter for the valve stems are smaller than the standard size on the OEM tpms sensors. Also the hole is located on the step lip which even if I enlarge the hole, the sensor body would not sit flush inside. I decided to go with sensors and bought the iforge adapters after confirming with the vendor. Can't wait to change my VMB5s to these.

 

yeah you will have to use adapters which are on the valve stem itself.

for example with wheels that utilize 90deg stems, this is a great solution.



as for the lip mounted valve stems, i have yet to see how it's done.
like this perhaps?


lastly, to the OP, are you running new TPMS sensors or removing the ones off the stock wheels?

 

will this function still work as normal meaning if your tires are low on air? or just turn off the light?

 

Used the brackets. Works like a charm.
