Questions about TPMS and valve stems/adapters.

Ed, we just mounted a set of Boze wheels that have the same valve hole location as your Pro Wheels, we used adapters like this:

Basically, you dismantle the stem from the OEM sensor, then reassemble the sensor with the adapter loop in the middle of the sensor/stem joint. Put the adapter valve through the wheel hole.

It's not a perfect fit for the Camaro TPMS. It will rattle.

It seems like either the adapter or the direct TPMS valve stem solution would work with mine. I'll plug the back hole with a reverse stem.

I am getting the Foose legend wheels also, Do the OEM TPMS work? Or is there an aftermarket brand you reccomend that works with these wheels?

Thanks.

They work, but you will have to tie back your parking brake lines in the rear to keep the TPMS stems from hitting them.

Also, you can't lower the car with the TPMS stems.

No stem type adapters will work with these wheels either by the way. Banded adapters should work though.

What I ended up doing, so that I could lower my car, is have the TPMS unit, without the stem, taped directly to the wheel with the same double sided tape that they use for wheel weights, then plugged the TPMS hole with an upside down stem to keep it from rubbing.

It seems to be working just fine like that and I was able to lower my car.

If I had it to do over again, I would not have bought Foose wheels. They were poorly designed for the Camaro, and they are cheaper cast wheels anyway. They do look good though, and I do like them, it just wasn't worth the TPMS hassle.

You double-sided taped the sensors inside the wheels? That won't work for long. The reason balancing weights work is because the centrifugal force pushes the weights outward into the wheel. Having the sensors on the outside of the wheel will force them away from the wheel. As wheels heat cycle, the glue on the tape will soften.

I've even used epoxy to glue sensors before, that didn't work either....after a few days of driving.

I'm so Fing confused.


Ugh..............

I'm still F***ed not knowing what sensors to buy. I don't even know if the GM ones will work.

[Nine Ball]

GM sensors will work PQ. Your Savini's will just require adapters, just like Terri's did.

PQ, If you need the I Forged adapters, let me know. I have a new set that wouldn't work on my Foose wheels. I paid $83 delivered from I Forged. You can have them for $50 delivered.

I just put after market wheels on my 2011 Camero and paid for tpms ($70.00 a piece) that didnt have to be calibrated and they dont work. I was told to drive 20 miles and they would adjust I have driven over 100 miles and nothing any suggestions??

[Nine Ball]

Sensors do not reset or learn on their own. You have to activate the TPMS relearn feature on your car, then use a scanner tool to fire off the sensor in the proper sequence. Or, use the air deflation method found in your owner's manual.

Wow, old thread. I absolutely hated dealing with this issue.

A year later, my TPMS sensors are still stuck tight with the tape. Although a year later for me is only 2500 miles.
