Thanks (and yeah, those pics on page one would be great)
iForged makes three different styles of TPMS adapters. Call them up, tell them which wheel you have, and they'll hook you up with exactly what you need.

Too much air keeps the light on. Keep it in the 30's. Had the same problem with my pipebomb

oh wait so you can put it in your spare wheel tooo? i was thinking about doing the zip tie method but i didnt think it would work. Putting it in the spare sounds perfect. Im gonna do that ASAP.

K the zip tie mod didn't work so I put the sensors in one of my stock 18 inch wheels cost 10.00 for them to do it... Add air and put the wheel in the trunk .. Start car no more light..
It worked .......
Soo happy

How come you just didnt put it in the spare? So did you just throw the spacers in the wheel? You dont secure them to anything?

As long as he put all 4 sensors in that one wheel, sure.

(well, ok for not having a dash light, not ok for having any warning when his tires are low)
