How tight will my sensors go??

Hi guys...

Have an 04 N/A and changed my factory wheels for the srt6 wheels and switched the TPMS's from one to another. Next day i notice all tires have lost a little pressure (about 3psi), so i verify the TPMS area and notice a little air coming out, so i tighten them up some more. The day after one of them lost some pressure again... so here comes my question.... HOW TIGHT CAN THESE SENSOR BE? I don't want to go crazy getting them all tight until i brake it...

Thanks for your help as always

Wise to replace seals when changing to different rims. Tighten to 35 in lbs.

As James said you must use a new seal kit to ensure a good seal on the sensor when it has been moved. It is only a few dollars, way less than the cost of installing the tires again.
