Hey guys

I'm about to get some fuel maverick 20x9 wrapped in 33x12.5xR20 tires and I'm wondering if I need new TPMS sensors for the new wheels or can I use the old ones? My buddy who is going to be doing the labor for me says I need new ones because they won't fit 20" rims, but I just read a thread saying someone transferred his original ones to his new wheels (also fuel mavericks). So can somebody clarify for me?

 

Thanks

You'll be able to RE use the same sensors out of your older wheels. Shouldn't have to install new ones

^^^^+1 - Correct.

Thank you both. Is it a difficult process to reprogram them once I transfer them over? Something I need to take them to a dealership for? Or just pop them in and pump up the tires?

The process is in the owners manual.

But If you RE use them you should not have to RE program them I do believe.I would still RE calibrate though due to probably running different air pressure with your new set up if your going with a complete different tire and wheel ratio.

Ok that's what I figured. Thanks

 

And they need to be put in the same position so that the DIC reads them correctly.

Same position as in make sure the sensor is going on the same wheel like front driver side, rear passenger side etc?

 

Also will my speedometer be effected by larger wheels or will that self adjust?

​^​^​^​^Answer to first question is Yes.

 

Second - it's not the OD of the wheels that affect the speedometer it's the effect of the tire/wheel combo (IOW the OD of your new tires vs the OD of your old combo) and Yes the speedometer will be affected and No it won't self adjust.

      Good thing my wife doesn't frequent my automotive forums, she might get the idea of strapping me to a handtruck and leaving me curbside for the pickers day before garbage pickup!

      Valvoline R&P Fuel System Cleaner

      Okay boys and girls I put a bottle of this in Dizzy the oil burning guineapig after a tank between the coil and plug service of the #3 hole and near the end of the first R&P 5W30 attempt. As a note I did a two R&P oil changes back in October of 2025 with little effect. Granted they were 1K mile a shot oil changes so.... Then followed by fourteen  1K mile changes of Mobil 1 Euro 5W30 FS. Also ineffective.    Anyone who has followed the adventures of Dizzy may remember that to put the oil on the full mark of the published nominal 5 quart change I withhold about a cup of oil. That over the last 50K miles the P0420 light has been a frequent flyer, sometimes three or four a day. And that even on 93 octane fuel she registers some KR even in moderate conditions on favorable days on slight inclines. Lastly when giving her a kick in the pants, something done about once a week, she looks like a diesel with the pump turned up. 😬   After one bottle and over the last 500 miles of a 3K mile OCI, of the first oil change I dropped the nastiest looking oil ever in her history. That's saying something as  you will recall I have used AutoRx, HP EC30/40 and a few other harsh solvents in her before including the GM top soak twice. This was syrup. Black stinky, inky syrup but the filter wasn't all that bad.    On the second fill I had to use the entire 5 quarts to reach the full mark. That was unexpected! The ignition KR is completely gone! Even at 99% engine load. MAP is much lower. Level road is now 9.8 instead of 12.5. Fuel economy is remarkably higher and for the first time since her earliest days she will spin to 6500, more than a thousand higher with out laying down dead. Yes, the coil and plug had something to do with that but remember the first 2500 miles after that repair on the first change it was same ole same ole Dizzy. Seems we have top rings that are somewhat functional again. P0420 code only comes on now if run in town for more than an hour of stop and go. On the open road it goes weeks without a incident. Perhaps it is cleaning the cat on the pass through?  Fuel Trims have improved as well. Nothing not to like.    To early to say about oil economy but the changes to date in the operational aspect is remarkable. I can't think of a worse case than Dizzy.... It's already paid for itself in a few tanks of fuel with the mpg improvement.    @OnTheReel, I'd say if the Jeep didn't respond perhaps there wasn't an issue to respond to.    I've run the Red Line SI-1, AMSOIL fuel cleaner, GUMOUT and Techron all in this SUV without any such results. Color me impressed. I'll be running out my supplies of the list mentioned and moving on to the Valvoline R&P Fuel System Cleaner.
