Default TPMS sensor on Genesis wheels?

I am wondering if the tpms sensor from Is350 a bolt on affair for a genesis track wheels. I like the way the wheels look on our car but dont want the blinking light on the dash if I cant use the tpms sensor. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

I'm doing this setup tomorrow. I was told by one of the members on here that it will work for the genesis track wheels. I think they'll have to strap it down with a metal band though. I'll find out soon enough though and will let you know.

Thanks for the info . Can you snap a couple of pics for me. Also if I am buying an ebay one do I have to get them reprogrammed? Thanks for your information

Hey, bro...So I decided to get just the wheels and tpms sensors mounted on. The eBay TPMS sensors will not need to be strapped down by a band. However, you will need a nut to keep the sensors in place. The shop ended up using the ones from my stock wheels since I won't be using them until winter time. Programming will need to be done by either a Lexus or Toyota dealership. Toyota will probably do it for cheaper. Here's a picture of my SUV... I'll be lowering her tomorrow with BC Coilovers.

I'm using 235/35/19 all around. My IS250 is AWD so I had to try and keep it close to the stock overall diameter as much as possible. I don't think it matters too much for the IS350. I'm pretty sure Jeff can tell you more about his tire setup since he has a 350.

Stock Genesis tires for now.

225/40/19 and 245/40/19.

When I buy new tires when these are dead I think Im going with 235/35/19 and 255/35/19

No clue but tire shop did it with no problems. I assume the genesis has TMPS so they probably have the mounts.
