Is rotating TPMS sensor a reliable option for going from steel to alloy rims?

I tried to use high neck angle (40 degrees part number 42607-04020) PMV-0C15 sensors from 2018 Tacoma on the factory alloy rims but it leaked. Rotated the sensor but it was sticking out too much. The tire installer said "no mas". I know people allegedly have done this but what is the success rate? I rather sell my 40 degree set to someone who needs them and buy 20 degree set. What is your secret on being able to use 40 degree set on Toyota factory alloy rims? Please share your secret. If there are no true reliable solutions then I will be more than willing to let my 40 degree set go for $60 including shipping.

 

I just bought a set of PMV-0C15 TPMS sensors with 20 degree neck. Let me know if anyone needs a set of 40 degree neck TPMS sensors.

If you are running styled steel rims then you need 40 degree neck

If you are running alloy rims then you need 20 degree neck: https://www.tacomaworld.com/attachm...5/?temp_hash=acf9efcf711ab76fc9ee6dd2c3541dda

 

TPMS Basics:
If you are just transferring the existing TPMS sensors then there is no need to program the ECU.
You will need to program the ECU if any of TPMS sensors is replaced or changed.
If you use 40 degree TPMS sensors on Alloy rims, you may have a leaky situation.

 

Thanks for pointing that out. I am buying the new, correct sensors as I will be moving from steel rims to alloy rims. I assume that the tire dealer will take care of the TPMS programming.

From what I've read, the spare tire (which I will keep the steel rim for) does not have a TPMS.

 

100% Correct

If the replacement sensors are cloned with the same ID#, not correct.
