    I just had my steel wheel TPMS sensors installed by Firestone on my 20” RBP wheels.

    The angle is different but the manager at Firestone assured me they fit and are safe.

    Been riding on them for two weeks without issue.

    You need 20 degree TPMS with 7 digit IDs. Give me a sec and I’ll give you the part number. I replaced my 2018 SR steel wheels with aluminum from the TRD Pro

    I used the sensors from my steel wheels in my black rhino alloy wheels and discount tire swapped them over. No issues. Not sure if OEM alloy wheels cause an issue though.

    Yes the tpms Roman mentioned are 8-digit, you can’t program those on 2018 Tundras, at least 2018 Tundra that came with steel wheels. I’m guessing 2017 and back used those so they are assuming its the same for 2018.

    Attached a picture of my steel wheels factory tpms they are 7-digit. When you try to program the new ones through tech stream, it does not allow you to enter more than seven digits.

    Here is a thread I had started about this. https://www.tundras.com/threads/tpms-identification-number-problem.19228/

    My guess this tpms question will be coming up more frequently as more people buy 2018s.


    Yeah, most likely it can be done, most shop just flip them upside down. They will be more exposed to damage if you hit a curb or get a flat tire etc., since they wont lay down flush on the wheel, but thats the only downside, otherwise it should be fine.

    Here is some useful information:
    The new tundras with alloy wheels use a "high" sensor reading. As far as I know there are no compatible aftermarket sensors believe me I've tried with my aftermarket wheels. The old sensors on the 17 and older are "low" sensors meaning they don't report actual pressure readings. For the 18s keep your oem sensors until they have a fix for this. Yes the 7 and 8 digit numbers are correct but if it's not a high sensor it won't support a reading. Hope this helps

    What I am reading is the older trucks, pre 2018, that came new with factory steel wheels cannot interact with OEM TPMS from alloy wheels.

    The correct sensor for wheel is incorrect for truck and vise versa.
