Default Wheels

I have a chance to buy some after market wheels 17x9.5 18x10.5 off a 01' with sensors, will these work on my 99' with stock run flats and if the sensors off the 01 will not work ,will my sensors off my 99' stock wheels fit the 01' wheels.

It is my understanding that the sensors changed from 01 to 02 so I would say you are fine.

Not sure about the sensors, I think not, but the rest of your question is Yes. The wheel sizes are the same and your sensors should work. To make it easier, put same sensor on same wheel

'01 sensors will not work on your '99. There's no way to be certain that your '99 sensors will work on the aftermarket wheels. They are much larger than '01 sensors.

Sensors changed after the 2000 model year. 1997-2000 uses the same one, 2001-2004 uses a different type. What wheel are you looking at buying, the 1999 sensor may still fit.

As long as the aftermarket wheels have the correct offset, you should be OK. The sensors will not work with your year car, but your stock ones should work if the '01 sensors fit OK.
