I am unsure if the factory TPMS fits my new rims. I installed it but it doesn't fit flat against the inner rim. There is a good 3/4 inch between rim and sensor. Are they suppose to fit flat and snug or kinda float out there with all pressure being in the stem mount. Don't want to buy a new set if this isn't right. Thanks

 

Jerry, got your PM and to be honest I've never seen how they mounted on the wheel. It doesn't seem like much to mount them though.....

 

check out the internet for images like the one below, they do look like there is a pretty decent space between the wheel and the sensor. And remember the stems aren't like those rubber ones, they seem pretty solid.

 

Thanks Chris, I am just gonna install the tires for now and maybe get those put on this summer. I don't know, I may go look on ebay for a cheap set. Saw a new set for 135 or so.

 

There is space between the wheel and the sensor , I work at post office garage , And we have 2008 chevy uplanders with wheel sensors changed alot of flats and tires ,.They don't set flat on rim there is a space..

 

Tire rack sells them for a pretty decent price.

We bought my parents a second set of rims for Christmas and I included a second set of the TPMS, I think it was $45 a sensor?

 

pics of the new wheels Mike?

 

they never installed yet, just a basic 5 spoke 16" rim for cheaper tires in the winter haha

 

Thanks Jerry. I have just spent so much on the car lately and don't want to buy a new set. But it will only cost me more later when have to get them installed and rebalanced so I might get them now.
