OEM 19's Lugs and TPMS

I just bought a set of OEM Rays and I want to put them on myself. They didn't come with lugs, so will the lugs from my OEM 17's work? Also, how does the TPMS work? Do I need to do anything with that so my light doesnt come on? Im not really sure how all that works.

Really doubt the oe lugs will work. Best to give McGard a call at 800-669-6887, they will know exactly what to do there. If you do not use the TPMS sensors you'll have a constant low pressure light. There isn't a way to turn it off that I know of. If you're moving the factory sensors to the new wheels all you'll need is the rebuild kits so they don't leak. They run about $5 ea from us. Finally, if you are buying a new set of sensors, you'll need to take the car to the dealer after they are installed on the wheel so they can program the serial numbers into the car. The car can only recognize one set of sensors at a time.

I'll give them a call when they open tomorrow. I was hoping the lugs would fit because I believe the 17" wheels are 7.5" in the front and 8" in the back, where the 19" wheels are 8" in the front and 8.5" in the back (i think that's right). So its not that much wider, but I wasn't sure if the lugs were made very specific for a certain size. Also, i just realized the tires do not have TPMS's. Can I take the one's off my oem 17's and put them on my 19's?

Shouldn't have any problem transferring the oem sensors from old wheels to new. I'd get the rebuild kits though so they do not leak.

if the OEM 19s have OEM sensors already, you can go to a dealer and have them scan the sensors to work with your car using the consult program....
