Default TPMS question

i am planning to replace my 99 C5 wagon wheel with some deep-dished wheels,,
is it possible to install TPMS sensors on the new set?
if not, is it possible to disable TPMS?

As for the TPMS fitting a newer wheel, you need to ask that question to the manufacturer or tell us what wheels you are going with. Many different wheels are in use by forum members that can tell you their experience installing the TPMS.

So, they may not even be sized for a C5, is that what you're saying? You need to check the wheel offsets and bolt pattern before going through anymore trouble.

Any good tire shop should be able to do this for you. Just remind them of the TPMS and be sure that they install the wheels in the same location from which they were removed.
