It can be done, but must be reset or taken to the dealer to be reset. You cannot alter the "staggered offset". This comes from my brother, an assistant manager at discount tire. I see dealerships doing this all of the time.

You should call the shop that will be doing it.

I thought the pressure monitoring system was built into the stems ? Just replace the OEM stems with the aftermarket rims and your set ? Is this not true ?

Can't see how else they monitor the system unless it's done with a gyro ( which I highly doubt ).

me either but well find out soon. but im gonna go with you that its in the tire steam, but the only thing i thought of is everytyime i change the rims for the season. they have to take the tires and rims apart and switch them to the stock ones each time.
that sucks, i wonder if i can buy another set of pressure sensors for the new rims??

hi i thought that the pressure monitors used the abs sensors to monitor wheel speed when a tire is low the wheel will turn at a different speed causing low pressure lightg to come on ------------- good luck

I dont know on the trucks but on the corvette's its just a speed sensor attatched to the rim with a big water hose clamp. Im sure the trucks are same. Alot of shops wont change your tires on a corvette because of the sensor.

I typed the wrong thing, the speed sensor on the corvettes is bolted to the rim through the valve stem. They do make a kit for other wheels that uses the big clamp.

ok i found out that we were all right its built in to the valve stem. now heres what im thinking ,everytime i change rims over for the winter i have to take apart and rebalance all 8 wheels(new rims and stock) casue we have to putthe sensors back in the stock rims..i know that i can buy new sensors for around 50 bucks each. but the problem is i new a tire diagnostic tool to reset the transmiters in the tires. i have the model # of the tool but i cant find it on any site. does anyome know of a site that seels diaganostic tools i tried everywhere and no luck
please let me know
thanks
