Default TPMS Sensors After Wheel Change? (Updated)

I'm trading my 07 LS460L 19" wheels (Gulf specs) for the 08 LS460L 18" wheels (U.S Specs). Since I love the look of the 19", I'd like to interchange. Is there any issues with the tire sensors needed in consideration? The sensors in both set of wheels are original and still fully functioned on both cars. Thank you very much,

Wow, I would love to trade you my 18" oem wheels for your 19" wheels. Should not be a problem with moving your sensors to the 18" wheel. I moved my sensors over to my 20" wheels with no problem.

You aren't finished yet. After you drive about 30 minutes away from the wheels with the old sensors you will get a TPMS Alarm.

You need to have the new sensor's IDs loaded into your car's electronics.

A new issue came on with the calendar, I tried and couldn't change the date, mine just went back to 12/30/2000. In the Calendar menu, all buttons turned off and left the number 30 lighted on. Is there anyway way to set it to today? Thank you very much. I remember being able to set it in my 07.

Do you have a nav unit option? I'm not certain but today's date may be automatically obtained from it. I couldn't find anything to help in the manual.

Default Vibration Issue

Now I' m having a big problem with the car. It vibrates clearly when shifting to D and R which never appeared on my previous LS 07. Remarkably, it vibrates harder at the first start - up and decreases as the engine gets hotter and totally goes away with the AC on. Does anyone know how to deal with this? My RPM is not too low - 800 rpm. I have 20200 miles on it.

Have you isolated your problem to the engine. In other words, is the engine running rough when cold or do you think your problem could be transmission or rear end related? If so, could you have gotten some bad fuel recently?

The engine runs rough when cold, a little rough when hot and disappears without a trace as AC on, so it means that it has nothing to do with the transmission. It cannot be in the rear also 'cause I feel only little vibration in the back seat, the front 2 seats suffer the most. I use the same fuel as I did on my 07.
