Brought Axis Milanos on eBay

Set of 4 19X8.5 245/40/19 +35mm offset on all 4 with 5x114 bolt pattern. For my 2005 PS sedan. My question is will I have problems with the tire pressure monitoring system? I did a search one person had problems with warning staying on but I can't tell if it's because of the wheel brand and size or just something to expect when not using the factory 18" wheels? How exactly does the sensors work on the sedan? Another question can I use my factory lug nuts?

If you don't take your sensors off your stock wheels & get them installed on your axis rims, then your light will come on on the dash after a while (not a big deal....other than not knowing if/when your tire pressure is low). I have a snow set of wheels/rims, and in the winter, after driving about 45 minutes, my light will come on. But once the car is turned off, the light resets until the next time I drive. I'm actually going to be buying some Milano's myself and confirmed w/ Axis that the tire pressure sensors will in fact fit on the Milano rim. The sensor is located at the valve stem...you can buy new ones for your Axis rims (if you're keeping your stock rims too), but I think they'll run you $100 per wheel or so. Also, re: lug nuts, it's my understanding that your stock lugs will not work w/ aftermarker rims...I think you need "tuner lugs". Most places that sell rims/tires include them....but guessing that since you bought them on Ebay, then maybe they weren't included? Hope this helps.

100.00 a wheel! Well that is nice to know my stock sensors will fit the Milanos. I need to email the seller and tell him to include the lugs with the wheels I don't see why he would need them anyways since he sold his maxima.
