quick TPMS question

do the TPMS take the place of a valve stem on a rim, or is there an extra hole drilled in the rim for the TPMS?

reason i ask, im looking at getting some OEM rims that are designed for a 20* TPMS. i dont have the TPMS on my 05, so im trying to see if i need to do anything to be able to use these rims. ie plug a hole, or if a normal valve stem will take the place of the TPMS.

thanks for your help guys...

 

you can replace them with regular valve stems.

 

excellent, thanks for the help!

im hopefully finishing up my TL retro today as well, thanks for the inspiration!

 

Nothing to plug up. Its just a sensor that is mounted inside on the wheel. looks like this:

 

^ cool, thanks man, so i can just use a regular rubber stem in place of the TPMS.

 

yes...
