need help with couple of ?'s

i posted a thread earlier, but in the wrong area so here i am again...

1. i got aftermarket wheels and my oem wheels have the air sensor on them,will my light inside the dash turn on by using aftermarket wheels with out the air sensor, and is there a way to eliminate it or not have it turn on anymore?
2. i got 19x10 with 35mm offset and the wheel weight 35pounds, will the offset be ok for the rear or will i have to cut away on the fenders/roll them? also do you guys think that these wheels weight too much? if so wlll there be major differences in driving, ex. will my car go slower? lol any info is greatly appreciated thanks guys
o and with the wheels ill be running 245/35 and 275/35.

I can only answer the sensor question... There should be no inside dash light tripped when changing over to aftermarket wheels and tires. I just did and so far no sensor tripping.

no issue with the senors here also. i'd never rely on it anyway. the traditional manual way every few hundred miles is much more reliable.

i got 19in volks without the tire pressure sensors.

it does go off after around 45 min of constant driving..no big deal and ive gotten used to it. i think its fairly common..

Yeah, but its nice to know when you grab a nail in the middle of a long drive or something and can stop before its too late. I plan to get some rims once of these days, but only if the sensors will fit.

That's a very heavy wheel. Maybe the heaviest one on this entire forum. You'll definitely notice a decrease in acceleration and handling, but who knows maybe you won't care anyways.

Wouldnt the shorter overall diameter balance off with the extra weight?

If you can keep the sensors, do. I see a lot of destroyed rubber because of low pressure. It is way too easy to not notice that the tire is flat on these very stiff short section width tires. As for balance and performance, both will decrese with the additional pounds.
