I have set of OEM 19's and I wanna change them. I have OEM 18's on right now. My question is that if I just change them would I have any issue about TPMS?? would I be able to monitor it on the screen?

There are TPMS sensors in each wheel that need to be changed over (most tire places can do this) to the new wheels. And you'll need lower profile tires to keep the overall diameter of the wheel / tire combo the same so that the speedo isn't off.

If your going to upgrade to factory 19's, you might want to consider just upgrading to some FX50 21's or aftermarket 20's.They look so much better than any of the OEM wheels for the M45's.

BTW: MR. BAKERZ,

The M looks a lot better with the FX50's wheels than that look your aiming for in your post.

I had 19" wheels from a M45 sport on my M35X and they worked fine, EXECPT it made the tramlining much worse. I had to go back to 18" rims with Conti tires to get the tramlining under control.

to the op of the thread not hating they do look good but i went and got a pair of m45 of a old friend and wasn't satisfied with the wheels so looking for a lower offset that's all.
