They should work, but ask your dealer if it’s possible to request that SSR drill the air valve holes to accept TPMS sensors/standard schrader valves .

I forgot to even ask and the holes were slightly smaller (but the perfect size for the included valves that SSR provides). I had to order a TPMS band kit and strap the sensors to the wheels barrels.

So just ask to see if SSR can do that or if not, take your wheels to a machine shop (or someone with a good drill press/rig that can handle the job).

Oh and if you haven’t selected your authorized dealer, I suggest Josh over at Kami Speed! He’s taken care of me on 5 sets of wheels throughout the years (I need help, lol).

I've spoken with Josh a few times and the actual offset that I wanted they don't carry anymore so I had to get my rear wheels from somewhere else.

I do plan on getting at least the fronts from kamispeed though. So the factory tpms will work then despite being smaller? I'm a bit unfamiliar with the band kit you're talking about

You’ll need to get all of the wheels drilled out, unless SSR offers that directly from the factory as an option.

The TPMS sensors will not fit if you don’t drill out the holes...the standard Schrader valve is just a little too wide to fit. Here’s the band kit that I got from Amazon to give you a better idea of what I’m talking about. White Knight TPMS22105 Stainless Steel Finish TPMS Strap Kit, (Set of 4) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00B2FCQ86..._n-XfCb1K7N1HP

Hopefully though, if SSR can drill them to the Schrader valve/TPMS diameter, you can avoid all of that.

Hope that helps!

I see. Since the wheels are already here in the states I don't see that being possible unless I send them back to SSR. I'll go ahead and grab that band kit though. Thanks for the help!
