actually other way around... there is a sending unit under dash... sends signal to the sensor.

btw, if you're "!" goes on and your tires are nor under-inflated, dont assume its the sensor... I had the sending unit go bad a few years ago...

Sorry. Bass ackwards. Either way, it's RF communications. Any easy way to tell whether a sensor or the sender went bad?

not sure... all I know is I had the light - took it to dealer three times before it was finally fixed... I dont think there is a way for us to know (without diagnostic tools that service techs have)... but if you get the light after they supposedly fixed it (especially if the fix was new sensor), insist that they check the sending unit.

Which 18s? If they are the 8" wide ones, no I don't suggest running a 265. I had a 265 on my track wheels (8.5") and that was as far as I'd squeeze a 265 onto, anything smaller is going to look weird and feel weird. Try to trade them to someone.

I'll definitely keep that in mind.

Another wheel fitment question.

I want to order a set of Venaci Spirits. Right now I am looking at 20x9.5 +7 and 20x10.5 +7. What mods will I have to do (if any) to make them fit without rubbing? I also need to make sure I will be able to clear my BBK.

I am lowered on Tein coils.

ok,this is about the A-disk,O-disk question..regarding works vs-xx..I have a 07 coup no brembo or bbk just the standard oem brake that came with the car..if I have 9.5 +0 offset in a O-disk it'll give me 109 mm of lip.I want to go more aggressive.......so I switch to a -7 in A-disk it'll give me the same size lip just more aggressive correct?same goes for the rear,going with a lower offset and with a A-disk..these should clear my standard brake correct?in the rear instead of going with a O-disk on my 10.5 for +0 offset I want to go with a A-disk for a -7 same lip size just a little more aggressive.the question is should I have any problems running these disk on the standard oem brakes?thanks..

^ i think O-disk will clear front and rear non-brembos. if you wanna go more aggressive offset, just stick with O-disk since it'll give you more lip.

can't I get the same amount of lip going with an A-disk just with a lower offset?for example,9.5 with a O-disk with an +0 offset will give you 109mm lip and A-disk -7 will give you the same lip just more agressive fit?and will A-disk front and rear clear oem non-brembo brake?just trying to go by works wheel chart and looking at the amount of lip for each disk type..and in order to get the same lip as an O-disk on an A-disk you'll have to go lower offset.but can I, and will the A-disk fit oem non-brembo brake?because I wanna run A-disk front and rear..

^ why do you wanna run A-disk front and rear? O-disk faces are more flat than A-disk so they'll look better.
but to answer your question, yes. O-disk +0 and A-disk -7 have same amount of lip, but the O-disk face will be flatter (less convex) than A-disk face.
