Anyone had any problems switching the factory 18's to the factory 20's on a 1LT-Non RS? Also the 18's will be up for sale shortly, if the swap goes fine.

uh, might be some issues with the TPMS. I'm not exactly sure how it works, surely someone else can chime in =D

I guess the better question is anyone have pictures of what they look like on 1LT?

You won't have any problems. There have been some funny happenings with TPMS sensors, but the fit and function as far as performance will be fine.

Here are some on an LS. All they do when you order the RS package on a 1LT is swap them out. Nothing more to do.

I have and LS and I went to Boss 20's....I found a shop that moved my TPMS sensors free so Rims&Tires mounted and balanced w/TPMS moved was only 80 Bucks... I got lucky but expect to pay around 60-100 bucks for a shop to move them in addition to your mounting/balancing costs...I also noticed that my car needs an alignment now..Other than that no problems. The speedometer seems to still be accurate, I went to factory stock tire setup as well, to keep the same diameter.
