I don't have TPMS that fit these wheels, the opening is a little smaller. What can I do? I have been searching online and all I see are the stock sensors.

Surely these wheels have the same size holes that fit the standard stem, if the standard stem fits the TPMS will fit as they are the same size, the metal stem cover goes on when the stem is installed. Some TPMS do not have the metal cover.

If the tire is larger in circumference by a certain amount the cruise will disengage when the wheel speed differs from the speedo by a certain percentage. I think that is the reason. That may not be your condition though.

 

OK update.

The fronts actually fit perfect no spacers. The rears also fit but are too far in, I need spacers to bring them out. Doesn't look awful, just not as good as the fronts. What size spacers should I use?

Also, I contacted Brabus and they said I need to use Mercedes pressure sensors as the wheel is built for those. They didn't designate a model number. How would I get that to work with the Xfire?

The current sensors thread is too large to fit in the Brabus hole by a small amount. I'm not even including the metal collar.

thanks

edit:The cruise control issue happened twice and then never came back. Weird.

 

What size hole is it?
The hole has to be large enough to take the rubber seal location diameter which is about 7/16 diameter on the standard Schrader sensors. Maybe what you have has to be opened up to size.

 

If you find a solution to the Mercedes sensor that works.. by all means post up as that should mean the DRBIII menu for that car should let me program my sensors in. Going to plug back in today and look into more platforms in hopes of one that recognizes the system, which if successful will also be able to give you a model to work from..

 

I'm not sure what size the hole is, all I know is the wheel place said the sensors don't fit the holes. Not sure what to order. This is all french to me. If anyone could assist I'll buy them and let you know Miata.

Also, where is a good place to buy hub rings in 66.56-76 size. this is what I need for these wheels. The ones I have on their now are mis-sized.

 

Brabus rep says that they have a plastic "adapter" that will allow me to mount my current sensor to the wheel. He's going to email me a pic.

 

I have to be missing something here, you say the existing sensor does not fit as it is too large for the hole and now you are getting a picture of an adapter that will solve your problem.
I can only see an adapter that would let a stem that is too small fit a larger hole with no play.

 

Agree . Have no idea what he's going to send me.

Would it be bad to drill out the hole?

 

What size is the hole?
Maybe he is sending you a drill.
I cannot imagine why the hole would be smaller, but I do know that there can be two sizes of hole 3/8" and 7/16". I thought the smaller size was not used on cars though. Even so the stem would pass through the 3/8" hole as it is smaller, maybe 5/16".

In the picture below the black stem is the same size as the cap that fits on the end, the black rubber plug on the other end has a diameter that fits in the hole so you can realize that the stem has to pass through the hole to reach the rubber plug diameter.
The larger diameter on the plug stays inside the rim and makes contact with the inside of the rim.
These are not our sensors though, ours would be the AirAware sensors, #20028 and maybe #20066.
