Tire Question - 12/10/2006 10:21:56 PM

Status: offline I have a 2007 GT California Edition with the factory 18" polished bullitt wheels (currently running 235/50zr-18"). I'm not sure but I think the wheel diameter is 8.5" (maybe someone knows for sure). I like the looks of the factory wheels. However, I want to go with wider tires without messing with the TPMS (tirerack wants $450+ to fit new ones). What tire size options do I have with the stock wheels?

Thanks!
Steve

Your original wheel is a 18 x 8.

You could use a 255/45-18 or a 245/50-18 on those wheels.

Your TPMS is just a band around the center of the rim with a sensor 180 degrees from the valve stem. All it will need is a new strap to remount the sensor and will need to have the sensors retrained. 450 to just mount is really high to me.

Status: offline Discount tire has straps and cradles for around $50 bucks for all 4 tires up to 22 inch. I put all 4 sensors in a pvc tube with a valve stem in one end. Set the pressure to 32psi. No problems, cheapest way to go.
