| Post subject: | TPMS sensors and after-market wheels |
Sorry to keep posting threads, but I thought getting wheels/tires was going to be a bit more straight forward.. I wasn't even aware that all new fangled vehicles had a TPMS system stock and what may or may not happen if you swap to wheels without the sensors. Since there are a ton of you with aftermarket wheel/tire setups, I am hoping someone can give some quick help. Yesterday I went to get my cragar v-5s and tires on the Jeep.. I got called into the shop after about 20 minutes with some questions.. First was: what to do about the TPMS, they said if i didn't put the sensors in the new wheels (if they would even work) that they didn't know if it would chime or just throw a light.. would it even throw a light if the sensors aren't there? Next was that the stock lugs didn't look to seat enough or right (couldn't tell) on the cragar wheels. I would have assumed someone would have said something in the rim/tire thread if you couldn't use stockers.. now the stockers are acorn/conical and on jegs it says to use acorn/conical but they do also have the extended tip option. Either way, I wouldn't know what thread nut to order because I don't know what stock is, or how to find out easily. The other question was about the tires not fitting on the Jeep.. 255/70/16 on 16x8" cragar v-5s.. looked like it would rub whenever there was suspension travel on the fender wells.. not to worried about that one, but the other issues were more important. |

If you have the hard tpms they will not work in steel wheels but if you have the new style with the rubber stem then they SHOULD work fine in any rim, from what I've HEARD. Without the sensors you will have a constant light on, no constant chiming. It would only chime at first start up and once in a great while there will be a random chime. Which I'm not even totally sure on cause a few KKs seem to randomly chime. I ran cragar steel wheels for 15k miles with stock lugs and never had any issues before I switched to MOABs. |

I switched to aftermarket aluminum wheels and just transferred the sensors right over. They are the type with the solid valve stems. |

Does anyone know if you can use the new style rubber stemmed sensors on an 08KK? |
