Re-use TPMS

GAaaAR · 09-27-2013, 03:08 PM

Hey, this might be a dumb question, but just need a quick answer. If I buy new 19 inch rims, I can re-use the OEM 18 inch TPMS correct? Or do I have to buy new tpms?

TPMS sensors are not affected by wheel diameter or by tire size. Just make sure that the wheels you are buying are compatible with BMW TPMS sensors (most are compatible).

I wold also suggest getting new service kit2 so the rubber seals are nice and you don't have any leakage issues.

what do you mean by new service kit? You mean a new TPMS?

As long as the wheel design can accept the sensors, you can reuse them.

No, new sensors are not necessary, but some of the components, like the rubber seals, may need to be replaced.

sorry, I'm a huge newbie when it comes to this. Do you have a link on the rubber seals? Any other components to be mindful of? I'm goign to be running VMR VB3's.
