I got a new set of wheels, and tires, and am itching to get these mounted and on the car. I am unsure of what to do for the TPMS. I am a TPMS noob, and tried to search, but didnt find much at all. The valve stem holes on the new wheels are behind the face of the wheel, and so they came with extended valve stems that are bent at a 90 degree angle. They look good and will make pressure adjustments easier. Is there a sensor I can use on these valve stems that will work? Or are we limited to the straight valve stems with built is sensors? Thanks for any help, and sorry if this has been covered!

This part number from the sale is stock. I'm not certain what will definitely work and what will definitely not work, but it seems the almost straight ones from Nissan seem to be what the aftermarket companies sell too.

 

You can't replace the valve stems on these can you? I was asking if there is a TPMS sensor that I could fit onto the valve stems that came with my wheels.

 

I haven't found an alternate valve that bends like it sounds you need and also works with the sensor.

 

So what is the popular choice with aftermarket wheels? TPMS? Or deal with the light?

 

Deal with the light unfortunately.

 

Im confused on why the factory ones wont work?

 

The dip in the wheel near it's lip may not allow for a sensor to sit properly and seal against the wheel. Unfortunately not all wheels can accommodate sensors due to their design, so adapters or the like are needed.

 

I am not sure if the factory would have worked or not. I simply wanted to use the valve stems that came with the aftermarket wheels and wanted to know if sensor were able to be attached to different stems.
Either way, I got the tires mounted on the wheels today so I will be ignoring the light.

 

just got a set of volks with the rear valve stems the way you have described. take a look at this thread, this should solve you tpms mounting isue.

So u have to do this if ur valve stem isn't on the face of the rim, but within the barrel of the rim?

 

I plan/would use this bracket rather than mounting the tmps sensor directly to the wheel barrel for convenience. say you had to inflate your tires or deflate them a bit, you would have to either remove or reach behind the wheel to get to the valve stem.

 

For anyone who stumbles on this thread looking for a solution, these guys have them. https://g35driver.com/forums/wheels-...et-wheels.html

 

I am not sure if they are still in business but can't get a reply for these adapters. Has anyone found another option like these that they have used that work?

Thanks, Donald
