Getting new wheels, but need some answers first.

texas_mustang · July 8th, 2007, 03:35 PM

I have a 2007 v6, and im about to purchase new wheels. From what i hear, the new mustangs have a tpms sensor inside the wheels, is it possible to get rid of the warning light? also, does upgrading to a bigger wheel size mess with the speedo? How do i fix this?

Thanks

I dont think it is standard, but an option. So you may not even have it. If you do though, you need to purchase bands that are for bigger wheels and have them installed when you have your wheels/tires mouned.

texas_mustang · July 8th, 2007, 04:12 PM

are tpms sensors manditory?

Reverendbiker · July 8th, 2007, 05:00 PM

TPMS sensors are standard on 07 Mustangs. There is no known way to defeat the warning system, and it'll drive you crazy if you install new wheels with no sensors. The sensors are held in carriers by bands that strap around the wheel. The bands are size-specific and cannot be re-used once removed. When installing new wheels you must buy size-specific bands (i.e., an 18" band for an 18" wheel). Remove the sensor/carrier from the stock wheels and use the new bands to attach them to the new wheels. Ford will charge you about $60 each for the bands but you can buy from aftermarket sources for as low as $19.95 each. After the new wheels are in place you'll get a warning light that will go out after 3-4 miles.

the bigger wheels will throw the speedo off. you can fix it with a handheld tuner.

texas_mustang · July 8th, 2007, 08:50 PM

can a place like NTB change the bands? and also recalibrate the speedo?

Jucostud · July 8th, 2007, 11:16 PM

ntb can do the bands, but not the speedo. Your speedo wont be off if you buy the right size tires. ex. the stock tires are 235 55 17's, if you got 255 35 20's than the ratio would be exatly the same and your speedo would still read correctly.

06RedfireGT · July 9th, 2007, 12:13 AM

what size wheels and tires are you plannin on getting?

texas_mustang · July 9th, 2007, 12:46 AM

im looking at 20" but possibly 18s if yall think 18s are better. i equat age with wisdom, and yall can probly point me in the right dirrection. which would yall go with, i got the cash for 20s but if 18s are better...

Kuro · July 9th, 2007, 02:58 PM

id say 20s. but that just me.

texas_mustang · July 9th, 2007, 03:00 PM

yea, i dont wanna lower the car, and i think 20s would look better. im just worried about the speedo and the tpms sensors.

Regency 2007 · July 9th, 2007, 03:57 PM

20's will look better, 18's will perform better...

my 20's weight 8-10lbs heavier than 18's do per wheel

texas_mustang · July 9th, 2007, 04:57 PM

do you have any pics? and has your car been lowered?

Regency 2007 · July 9th, 2007, 06:08 PM

My car has been dropped 2"s and has 20x10 Foose Nitrous wheels.

Pics.

If you want your car to turn heads, this is it. When I am out driving my car it is like Jessica Simpson at a goat farm, you stand out!

I get some many freakin people taking pictures of me and aksing about my car it almost makes me mad. My dad had a awesome porsche turbo and it didn't get the looks this car does. The wheels make about 60% of the look.

texas_mustang · July 9th, 2007, 06:24 PM

damn that looks fuckin nice. i wanna get 20s but i dont wanna lower the car any. will this look dumb?

Regency 2007 · July 9th, 2007, 06:40 PM

I dont think it would look dumb, I have a really hard time with speed bumps and pulling out of parking lots that have inclines/declines with my front bumper, also have a bunch of bassani turbo pipes hanging down underneath that I got to be really careful with

Google mustang with 20's a find one that isn't lowered with 20's

I also thing the mustang style bullit wheels with deep dish look really sexy! And are a 1/4th of the price of these Foose wheels

texas_mustang · July 9th, 2007, 08:30 PM

yes, they are 1/4 the price, but they're also 1/4 the sexyness.

thanks for the help. where'd you get the tmps bands transfered? and how did you recalibrate the speedo? handheld tuner? and is it possible to have a speed shop recalibrate it for me?

Regency 2007 · July 10th, 2007, 12:38 AM

For the TPMS, I have not idea... Regency did the custom work and I dont know how they did it

texas_mustang · July 10th, 2007, 12:47 AM
