TPMS Sensors Hitiing Lower Arm - HELP - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Hi has anyone lowered their SS and or likes and had an issue with the tyre pressure sensors clicking / contacting on the lower arm in certain corners and under power? how can you fix this? is there a shorter stem option? - i cable tied the brake lines, this helped but now the lower arms are still clicking :(

i have 360 forged rims, 20 x 11 on the rear, and yes the car has been lowered.

any feedback appreciated.

First stop driving it or when your stem breaks you will be left on the side of the road.
My fronts were hitting and the stem was replaced with a plug version.
The people I bought the wheels from sent them to me and I had them installed by a local shop.

why is the stem on the inside?

Some aftermarket wheels come with 2 holes Mine had TPMS mounted on inside of wheel and then another for the regular valve stem on the outside.

Just a guess, I think it is only when you start to get wider wheels they do this.

comin problem...I've been dealing with this still. could invert the valve stem. if your tpsm sensors are mounted on them you will need another alternative. I'm looking at mounting my tpsm sensor on the center area of the rim.

I also had this problem...had to get some shorter stems installed on the inner part of the wheels.
