Re: CHANGING TPS SENSORS INTO AFTERMARKET WHEELS
You should just have to remove a 12 mm nut on the outter part of the valve. This will allow you to remove the sensor itself from out of the inside of the stock wheels. As long as the seals are still good, you should be able to put it back in the aftermarket rims just like a regular valve stem. Just make sure to have a garage take the tires off of the old wheels, because these sensors are extremely easy to break, and over $100 to replace. Below is a picture of the sensor mounted on the inside of the wheel

THANKS SO MUCH ,, ALOT OF MY FRIENDS SAYS AFTERMARKET RIMS DONT HAVE A BIG ENOUGH STEM HOLE FOR SENSOR TO GO IN ,,DO U KNOW OF THAT ..
Re: CHANGING TPS SENSORS INTO AFTERMARKET WHEELS
most valve stems are the same size, so i would think the holes for them are the same. placement of the stem might be a problem, like if the stem hole is on a stepped lip or something..
Re: CHANGING TPS SENSORS INTO AFTERMARKET WHEELS
I'm pretty sure the hole for the valve stem will be the same size. I've never ran into one that is a different size than the others.
