Default Z06 wheels on 98 C5 HELP

I am getting oem z06 wheels and I think I will not be able to use my tire pressure sensors, is this true? What other problems may I run into? I know the back wheels are 1 inch wider but what else do I have to worry about?

The new wheels will take your sensors, just be sure they install new o-rings.You will need to go to ZO6 sizes on your tires as both the front and rear are 1" wider

Ya, the sesnors will work. They are kinda a PITA to get the tire on past them, but I had them in my 98 for almost a year. I agree on the wider tires also. You can use stock sizes, but the are really too narrow. Scott
