Default Need Help Qith Iforged Wheels

HI

I have a 2008 z51 c6 and have ordered a set of iforged classic wheels. 18" front 19" back I am reading through some posts that the stock tpms sensor wont fit and that people have some fitment issues on these wheels and a band clamp style tpms will need to be used? Is there any truth to this? Or was this only with the first sets of wheels that came out?

Check the year of the posts you read to see if they were a few years back. I know iforged did come out with something to hold them in place using a nut over the stem.
I bought them from iforged but did not use them.

I ended up not going with sensors at all. The tire installer was a bit worried about damaging the sensor or his hand when installing the rear tires since I have a low profile /25 in the rear. But I did test the holder and it did hold the sensor. Since it was a c5 I just deleted the sensors from the car, I do not think that option is available on the c6 since I think laws started requiring tpms. I have the iforged aero.

I too am using this style TPMS adapter on my iForged Seneca wheels. No problems but you'll have to make sure the installer is very careful with how he mounts the tire. I have 13" wide rear wheels running 25 series tires and the guy had problems trying to mount the tire onto the wheel. Took him a while but he finally did it.
