I hope someone can help me with my questions... I recently bought these used rims and tires for $250 from a legit seller. They came from his Honda Accord.
Rims: 17x7, ET +38, universal lugs.. they look like Axis Mesh II rims. Some light scratches but no cracks or extreme curb damage whatsoever.
Tires: Potenza RE92, 225-45-17. Based on the labels on the tire sidewall, they were manufactured 2008 so fairly new I think.
My car: 2010 Versa SL (w/ oem 16 wheels), lowered on Tanabe NFS210s and car has TPMS.
Questions:
TPMS:
- Can I just transfer the old TPMS sensors from the oem 16s to the 17s instead of buying new ones? If yes, what items should I buy (gaskets etc.)? Do they need reprogramming from the dealer? Cost?
Tires:
- Will the tires rub? Do you think they're safe to mount these tires? My wife and I are planning to drive more than 2,000 miles (round trip) from NJ to Orlando this May.
3. Do I have to upgrade the lug nuts or just use the old ones? If yes, to what size?
BTW, I am planning to paint the rims matte gunmetal grey on the center mesh and gloss gunmetal grey on the rim lips.
Whew! ..long post lol
Thank you all!
