How difficult is it to re-calibrated the TPMS? I hope to go from 18 to 20 inch:biggrin: rims and Tire Rack can sell me new TPMS, however they have to be calibrated
 
So it's not possible to just swap your OEM TPMS sensors over to your new wheels? It's how I've always done it. Most shops charge like $10 per sensor, so it's much cheaper than buying new ones. My brother has an '06 G35 sedan and he swapped the OEM's over to his new wheels; those sensors should be the same as on our FX?

of course you can , just make sure your new wheels can accept a tpms sensor. some people have a winter set of tires and they just buy an extra set.
 
there are stand alone tpms programmers that can do it too by interfacing with the obd2, there not cheap either, around 2k+, some higher end electrical shops or wheel shops may have one, only problem is even if you did find someone with one there still going to charge you 60, 75, 90 or whatever anyway...


there is no reasonable home solution to this tpms yet really & I've really searched all the options...
