[QUOTE="Travis Munday, post: 835317, member: 52914"] XST- Usually you can get new bands to adapt the stock sensors to the wheels. Of course, if you get the wheels shipped mounted and balanced, you'll have to go somewhere and have them broken down, install the bands, then put it all back together. Not sure why the very specific tire size recommendation, as 285 with such a short sidewall is too wide for a 9" wheel. If there was more sidewall, say a 50 series tire, a 9" wide wheel would probably work. But at 285/40, you'll be stretching the tire sidewalls causing possible wear problems, and increased ride harshness. Tires have a recommended wheel width specification, going outside that spec may void the tire warranty, so be sure to buy tires that match the wheels. At 9" wide, you can go with a taller tire at the 285 width, or an overall smaller tire, say a 265/45. [/QUOTE]
