New Wheels/do I Need Sensors?

[yaya250]

I am going to buy new wheels and summer tires. If I don't get sensors ($300) will I be able to turn off alert and/or warning light. Car is a 2006 IS250 AWD

Thanks in advance,

nope.

If the wheels mounted on the car do not have TPMS sensors, thent he little idiot light will stay on.

Two solutions: 1. get a second set of sensors and mount them in the new wheels, 2. put a little piece of black electrical tape over the idiot light.

I did order 4 Lexus TPMS sensors for $55 shipped from eBay. I don't think it is too expensive not to have them on...

Are you sure? The ones I saw was $75/ea by Dorman and the set of 4 for $290. If so great deal.

I wanna put factory gs350 18" wheels on my lexus that has 17" wheels. Is this possible? And, will if effect the AWD?

Go for it.

My winter tires (225/50-17) are mounted on the stock 17" wheels and my three season tires (245/40-18) are mounted on Lexus G-Spyder 18" wheels. There are plenty of options for 18" wheels out there, pick something that really pops (doesn't have to be Lexus brand.

The only thing I noticed is the 18" tires rubbed a tiny little bit on the back wall of the wheel well when I cut the steering wheel all the way when making a left turn. This stopped after about 15,000 miles on the tires.
