ok...I need some help....
OK... Alicia picked out a set of rims she likes online. I like them too. But I am worried about the offset and how they will stick out or lack there of....
Questions I have:
Stock 15x7 wheel offset????
15x7
offset?
NEW WHEELS:
-18x9
-Backspacing 5 inchs
-offset 0 MM
How much farther are these wheels gonna be than stock? I need an answer yesterday... I THINK that these wheels will be 1 inch wider on each side... am I right?
hmmm I wander if I have TPMS on this truck....

I thought the sensors were banded around the wheels. At least that's how the sensors are mounted on my stock wheels.

TPMS is not in the hub! They are part of the valve stem but on the inside of the rim. There is a special procedure when dismounting/mounting tire with TPMS, so the sensors arent damaged. Its a pain in the ***. I have personally not removed the sensors to be replaced into new rims. In fact I would get rid of it if possible.

TPMS is on a band on the wheel. The bands cannot be re-used but you can pull the sensors themselves and transfer them... I think the price I got per band was $60?? Plus whatever the tire shop charges for mounting since you'll probably want them remounted?? I opted out of it and now run without... also found out it takes the truck about 1-48 hours to recognize the TPMS error.... just an FYI

similar to this, but a blue box:

LIES!!!!!!!!
The recievers...IDK where they are. But the transponders are not associated with the valve stem...Ford's TPMS system is not like Chevy's that use the valve stem. It's basically a blue box that is on the inside of the tire, using what looks like a hose clamp to keep it attached to the rim. Typically on the opposite side of the valve stem.

im pretty sure ill know the answer to this one...
The TPMS sensor is mounted with a band 180 degrees from the valve stem. the sensor can be reused but the band cant, you'll need to purchase 4 bands from ford for a vehicle with 18" rims and have them put on the new rims. If the new tires pressure will be different than stock, the tire pressure that sets the TPMS light can be adjusted in the computer.
some mountaineers and explorers, and 2010 fusions use a valve stem mounted sensor, but the ranger doesnt
STL states that it is part of the rear axle. older windstars with the first design of a TPMS system read off of the abs sensors at the hubs. so if this were a windstar forum, then stl and 91 project stx would be right LOL

You know, I learned something here today...

I agree about who needs TPMS... the issue at hand is our trucks came with the system whether we like it or not so we need to decide to ditch it and deal with the constant error light or spend the money to keep it updated...
