Is there a fuse or a way to disable the TPM? I installed wheels from my mustang (245/45/17) and I do not want to go through all the bs of installing tpm's in the wheels, I have gotten along without them for about 40yrs and I will eventually put them back on the mustang. The tires are brand new and I do not drive the mustang and don't want the tires to dry-rot. They do stick out more than the factory wheels, do you think I will have a rubbing issue?

I have seen "disabling TPM" threads here but it was from 2010 so maybe somethings have changed, should I just go ahead and get TPM's for these wheels as well?

Just ignore the little light.

As for fitting RWD wheels on a FWD car, hope that works out for you.

its all about the offset, as for fitting RWD wheels on a FWD car or vice versa is internet BS.

It's not BS. Saw it on Facebook where someone put wheels off a RWD on a FWD and the car went backwards.

As I also have gotten along without TPMS for many decades, I understand your position. I am not aware, though, of any way to disable the system's reaction to the lack of sensors. When I switch over to my winter wheel/tire setup I just ignore the light.

Not sure if this is correct, but I think the anti-skid system is disabled when the TPMS low-pressure warning is lit(?)

You have a better chance of cheating death than the TPMS.

Hello tape the wheels are sticking out a bit more then the 17& 18" wheels 7" standards wheels best Offsets 45-54 .
There are many members that show that amount of sticking out and they say no rubbing problems.
PCD Ford wheels -Wheel-fitment.com | PCD, Offset, Center Bore, mounting and tire size data
Kia Soul - Specs of wheel sizes, tires, PCD, Offset and Rims - Wheel-Size.com
The Only problem is the bore , the Mustang is 70 the Kia 67.1 so the locating core will be loose.
I do not believe removing the tyres to fit senders will be any good to your tyres . The best way to preserve the tyres is to remove the wheels and store on there side in a covered stack to protect from daylight and extreme temperature change. Breaking the rim seal cannot be good. especially on ageing tyre.

Weird thing with these TPMS. I added some air the other day and the TPMS lit up. After a while it disappeared.

The tpm did light up after about 6miles of driving. I just put a black cloth over the flashing light, I will update if it causes other lights to illuminate but I doubt it, I did read it "might" cause other lights to illuminate and by the posters saying "might/may" means they don't know chit. Jeff thanks for the links, some good info there. I will keep these wheels/tires on until they are hitting the wear marks and store the kia wheels/tires as Jeff recommended. Thanks guys

I found out that you cannot disable TPMS because it is connected to 2 fuses which also has some essential system connected to them so whoever doesn't install the TPMS valves will just need to deal with the light, so far no problems by just ignoring the light. I am liking the mustang wheels but I need to get those stick on kia caps to hide the little pony these caps show. The mustang wheels fit perfectly on the kia but the kia wheels will not fit the mustang because of the offset, it will not clear the mustang brakes.
