Both those tires are out of spec. I recommend going with 245/35/20 and 275/30/20 instead. The front is still overspec but only by a little. I have 235/35/20 and 275/30/20 to stay the right size.

For those of you who's doing after market wheels, what do you do for TPMS?

Most aftermarket wheels are TPMS compatible. Someone makes a band type that will secure the TPMS to the barrel of the wheel without drilling. Either way, there is an option.

i know you have to have the dealer program it. i also heard you need to provide them with each individual TPMS number/code for them to be able to program? is this true? i don't want to dismount my tires just to check for a number on the TPMS? my new wheels already came with tires and TPMSs mounted.

Your car will have TPMS on the stock wheels. They do not need to be programed, as they already are. If you were to buy a second set of TPMS for the aftermarket wheel setup, i believe that there is a button below the dash that will allow you to sync up on your own. You will have to check the manual though. I am uncertain, as i have yet to install my second set. Or, you could do as most and install your existing set on the aftermarket wheels and ride the stocks in winter with no TPMS.

i bought a second set of TPMS sensors for my summer wheels. you don't need the code for each sensor but it makes the technician's job a whole lot easier and quicker. ryan78 is right in that there's a button on the left side under the glove box for 2 different sets of TPMS codes.

Does this button allow us to program the second set on our own without having to go to the dealer & get reprogrammed ?

why do you mean higher? the sidewall height of the 245/35 is only 1/8" taller than the 275/30
