Default TPMS Placement Issue with Aftermarket Wheels

TPM Install on CRAW - Hawk Wheels,

The TPM on the Hawk's are installed at the rear area of the wheel through and additional hole in the rim. When I installed the OEM TPM the valve stem sticks-out facing the suspension(Fronts only). When the wheel is at full right turn the stem almost touches the tie-rod end. So, I am looking for another style TPM that has a removable stem which can be exchanged for a Valveless Adapter Kit designed for this type of application.

Any feedback will be appreciated,

Thanks,


Paul

Look on the iForged web site under wheel accessories. They sell an adapter bracket which mounts the TPMS sensor using the valve stem to hold it in place inside wheel. That's where I have mine mounted. Another way of mounting the sensor is to steel band it to the inside of the wheel.

Thanks for the input, this is jut what I was looking for! When looking at the website it's hard to see how the stem is secured to the adapter? Do you use the same nut that comes with the TPM?


Thanks again,

Paul
