My stock TPMS worked in my Mojave wheels. I did need a rebuild kit, since the seals have to be broken on the TPMS in order to switch them over. It was like only 12 bucks anyways.

I am not sure if tpms will work on bigger wheels, but I know they work on smaller wheels.

X2 on the rebuild kit. Not that you absolutely need it but why not replace the worn seals. It's piece of mind for a few bucks.

I have 16" procomp soft 8 steels. OE TPMS from stock 17" akuminum rums fit fine. Took a few miles of driving to get the light to go out after the change over though...

You might want to check and see if they were mounted right. Check for a red dot on the sidewall or some other marking. It is the spot where the manufacturer says the valve stem should be. If its not mounted properly in this area, your wheels will need additional weights

no red dot or any dot on tire.. they were looking for it. even so, those tires should not be 20+ ounces off no matter where the stem is correct??

yup.. im so pissed .. even had them reset their balancing machine to make sure something didn't happen when they balanced the first one which balanced perfectly maybe 6 ounces needed. then every tire after was way off..

I guess im gonna have to try one more place. maybe an off road shop or something that has seen this before..
