if the tire and rim size are the same as stock you can have them flopped around. wherever u get it done make sure its at the proper torque or it could mess it up. every car has a different torque so ya just an FYI. only problem will be they will corrode b/c this tmps system was designed where its warm so they felt alumimium would suffice. but not around here. i would just deal with it…put a sticker over it;) ---

As for the TPMS, the cluster in these cars is very easy to remove, just pull out the bulb. These systems are useless for people that know how to keep air in their tires, and a nuisance for us techs with people that do not know how to keep air in their tires. I just love picking up a repair order with “tire light on” on it, because I know it’s going to be a total waste of my time. ---

At my dealership I take care of bs like tire lights and that so that the tech’s don’t have to bother themselves with it. Sure is a pita, though, when the sh\*tty sensors can’t handle the cold climate so they break off when I’m taking off the valve stem cap and then its a 150 dollar booboo. Has happened more than once. Whoops. ---

$98 each for an Xterra, ask me how I know. A little black tape will cover the light just fine. My mechanic did say that they will be part of inspection in the next few years. Edit: Toyota = $152 each!!! ---
