Have swapped out my HRE wheels (which have the TPMS installed) for the stock wheels (which don't have the TPMS installed) about a week ago and have been driving around since.

one of the tpms sensors in the HRE wheels is damaged and always throws an alert

I am not however generating an error code for the set of stock wheels which do not have any sensors which I find unusual (not complaining)

what does everyone get when they put on their wheels without the TPMS normally?

i believe it only checks for the presence of the TPMS sensors periodocally. ie. it will not throw an error straight away. one possibility is that you fit the new wheels, go for a 15 minute drive, park it back in the garage afterwards (where your OEM wheels are presumably) and in that time it communicates with the sensors on the OEM wheels stacked near the car. you then go for a drive again, then come back, it "resets" again. just a possibility. the other possibility is they are working fine (i hope so, because if so, i will be getting a set!)

what is odd though is one set of wheels driven for a week now has no TPMS. I might be away from home for 12 hours or more on occasion and have driven for a couple of 20 min trips in the meantime.

you are corect though in assuming the second set is close by, maybe 5-6 m away from the car.

I take it if I got a second set of tpms for the track wheels that these would have to be paired up with a consult III and that tpms sensors are not swappable in the way that different bluetooth devices recognise phones in order of preference and availability? I am not sure exactly how they work and neither are the boys at my dealership.

Anyone now of a cheap place locally for TPMS by the way? I know of an ebay international vendor that sells them but wondering if any available locally

if i were to drive to the track with 18's i get the error yep.

however if i swap them on at the track (with the OEM wheels in the garage at the track) i dont get the error (because of the reason mentioned above). frequent visits back to the garage (where the OEM wheel/tyres are) tricks the system into thinking they are on.

is there any chance that your error you are getting with the TPMS sensor needs a reset, and the system isnt throwing any more errors until that is rectified?

hmm, will see. week and a half with no error. the error code from the faulty tpms in the separate set of wheels in the garage used to come on daily, now none. That sensor was not installed correctly and was found free, rattling around in the wheel for a week until I could work out what the sound was so I think the error is due to physical trauma.

    • I was just driving into work and while on my drive, I went to accelerate and noticed the car would sputter/hesitate and I’d hear a few pops from the exhaust before it started going faster. Then I also noticed that when I push my clutch in, the car would die. This all started happening today. Any ideas?
    • That is a lovely Volvo, just saying. Yes I should have got an 260RS when they were cheap. I do regret now.
    • ^ lots of good points made above. The thing is, "aggressive" or "flush" fitment is relative depending on how much you have been influenced by social media. My starting point is always "look at the Nismo RWD specs". That is where you should start, then start measuring as GTSBoy as sort of mentioned, because every car will be slightly different. My 8.5"+35/9.5+38 will not be "flush" enough for you because you want more "pumped" look, which is why you measure. Tyre sizes and brand/models also make a difference. Some tyres are more chunky/square, some are more rounded. That means you could get away with more aggressive offsets without rubbing. But then it also depends on your ride height. Also depends on how much your car copped damage before being shipped from Japan. So it goes back to measuring your car yourself and determining what can work. Those Nismo specs are used bacause it's a safe spec for standard car (suspension. body) with chunky tyres. But then I put 265/35 wide tyres on R34 GT-R wheels, and currently run 285/30 tyres on 18x10 wheels.
    • Sounds pretty awesome. I recommend creating a new build thread and posting all your goodness in there.
