can i fit my regular 17/8 tire onto a 17/9 tire and if i can can i swap out the sensors in them so i don't have an annoying yellow light on in my car???

Confused here. Are you trying to swap a 17/9 tire to a 17/8 rim and vice versa. More info please.

​

 

[mustangsally1]

vice versa i want to get 17/9 rims and my tires are 17/8 and they still have a lot of tread on them now so i was thinking about using them on the new rims... if i can

 

[Wicked One]

Sure. What size tires are they?? IE. 275/45/17?? I do not see a problem at all. as long as they are not gonna be stretched, like putting on a 255 on a 10" wheel.

I do not see an issue. Just have them swapped to the new rim.

 

[mustangsally1]

yes they are 275/45/17 they will fit even if they're an inch larger in width???

and can i swap the sensors in my rims to other rims??? or do i need a new set of them

 

[Wicked One]

They will fit just fine.

You can swap the sensors without a problem. You might need new tpms bands cause they are one time use only. American muscle sells the bands for cheap. let me know if you need help, I have access to a tire machine.

 

[mustangsally1]

yea i have all the tools and everything at my dads garage just wanted to make sure everything fit before i bought the rims but i may need help with sensors but ill ask how when the problem arrises lol

 

[Wicked One]

No problem at all. Just let me know. Where is your Dads shop? is it in Westchester?

 

[mustangsally1]

[Wicked One]

[mustangsally1]

[Wicked One]

Not excaliber. M buddy owns magnum, on the corner of Nepperhan and roberts.

I have a lot of friends with shops on nepperhan ave. Yogi is a good friend, bellino. etc...

My father was partners with the owners of Liberty Lines Bus company. His companies were in Yonkers.

 

[mustangsally1]
