Exclamation Tire/rim mounting issues -TPMS

Hi guys,

Rather than re-create the whole post, I'd like to direct you to

and perhaps you can chime in and offer a solution as I'm sure some of you (especially those with 22s or aftermarket rim users) have possibly encountered

Did you contact the rim manufacture? The 90 degree TMPS sensor looks like a good idea as well.

Many tire/wheel shops won't mess with TPMS changes as they are a Federal law and they don't want to change them from stock. I read your link and WheelB gave you a solution to your issue.

Hey all thanks for the feedback,

What I ended up doing was yelling at the vendor then sending a large well-worded complaint letter to the wheel manufacturer.

In response they sent me machined hub-centric 15mm spacers, and the 90 degree valve stems I require as well and a t-shirt.

I respect a company that is willing to rectify an issue, especially when the vendor was less than helpful

+1 to Saul @ Zenetti.
