Wheel Question to move from 18 to 19
Can i replace my stock 18" Wheel Style 162 with 19" wheel.
looking to go black Rims from current Style 162. Do I need any spacers, what spacers are used for ? what extra work is needed to move from 18 to 19 for Wheels.?? Currently I have these Tires and they ready for a replacement. Continental Extreme DWS. Might go with Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus. Front: 225/40ZR18 Rear: 255/35ZR18 So If I go with 19" RIMS then my tires will need to be changed 19 too ? Do i need to buy new TPMS too or the current ones can be moved to New setup Last edited by freshwater; 01-24-2013 at 09:42 PM.. Reason: more info |

Spacers are used to push the wheel further away from the hub to achieve a more aggressive look. You will need new tires with a 19" diameter and smaller sidewalls. You can run a 19" wheel, although finding a Style 162 shouldn't be much of a problem; although it will be aftermarket and not factory. You can maintain your old tpms.. |

I will go with some other Style black color Wheels not Style 162.
I might keep 162 with existing Tires or Sell them. One option is to keep two set of wheels, one for Winter and one for Summer. |

Your TPMS can usually be re-used. However, in some cases, there is oxidation or general degradation which means they will break when pulled out and cannot be re-used. It is a good idea to replace the TMPS valves when reusing them cause sometimes they leak air when reused. Valves are cheap -- like 5-10 bucks per TMPS. |

Its a good idea to replace the TPMS together since TPMS normally last about 5 years. |

I'm looking at doing a similar move as the OP. If the stock 162s are 18 x 8 and 18 x 18.5, do most people keep it staggered when going bigger? So is 19 x 8.5 and 19 x 9.5 the standard move? Just looking at all the available sizes is a bit mind boggling...
