TMS sensor adjustment after sizing up tores

[danmoochie]

Crazy question. When you size up on OEM wheels what are you guys doing about recalibrating the tire monitoring senors? I'm told they cant be reprogrammed and the low tire sensor lights up?

The tire pressure monitoring sensors should not need any calibration if transferred to other wheels. If you get new sensors, they will likely need to be matched to your vehicle's system. Any tire store can do that.

If you go with an overall taller tire, then you may want to have the speedometer recalibrated.

I understand the taller or larger circumference will alert the speedometer by a miler per hour or so but was more worried about if the sensor had to be recalibrated or not. Im.hetring my XLT FX4 and love the OEM rims but rather than 31s wanna go 32s and a little wider. Or I just go with 1 inch spacers and call it done. Love a wider stance.

I put 1.25” Bora spacers on my XLT wheels last week. Nothing needed to be reconfigured. But it does look better with the wider stance. I would post a picture but it looks really gross covered with yellow pollen right now.

Love to see a pic. I think 1 to 1.25 would put me just inside the fenders. Does your ride feel different in any way?

There’s no difference in ride or steering that I can notice. I’ll try to get a picture later.

One thing to consider though is that I have an XLT and the wheel offset is different from your Raptor so I don’t know how much a picture of mine will tell you.

I had a RR. Sold it. Ordered a XLT FX4 2.7

Ah, okay then. Please excuse the dirty truck. The Pollening is going on in Virginia and it's combined with the mud from my 'dirt' road.

Front Tire

Rear Tire

And a shot down the side.

The tread doesn't poke out past the flares so I'm happy with that.

So that's stock OEM tires and wheels with 1.25. Nice. I think that's going to be what I do as well. Thank you for the pictures
