Default LTPWS Sensor Mounting Position?

Bought new AFS ZR-1 rims, and have a set of tire pressure sensors. Where do the sensors mount on the rim in relation to the valve stem hole? Don't want to put them on wrong, and have them get broke when I have tires put on.

I have searched all the forums, and not one thread had this inquiry in it.


I figure someone here will know. Thanks, and appreciate the help.

I'm not sure, but I think 180 degrees from the valve stem.

Do you still have the original rims? Were were they on those? They put a sticker on from the factory showing the location on the outside so the tire changer knew where it was.

I think the 180° is right. The sticker on the stock wheels says to break the tire between the arrows, so this would put breaking the tire at a 90° angle to the sensor. The stickers are approx. 8" from the valve stem, or 90°. So, the sensor should be mounted straight across from the valve stem hole?

yes, that is correct, the sensors are in fact mounted 180* from the valve stem.
