Indirect TPMS

nick02 · Sep 20, 2014

Hello, I purchased a 2014 SEL. From what I have read, it has indirect TPMS. My question is, can I use any 5x112 wheel and valve stem or do I need the stem w/sensor? Thank-you, Nick

Indirect means no tpms sensor, this system uses the abs module to calculate wheel diameter to sense a low tire
You should be fine

No sensors required with indirect TPMS.

Thank-you for the clarification. I am not a fan of 17" wheels and want to downsize. Nick

Yep, it's cheap.

Not as nice as other car that gives individual tire pressure reads.

But much cheaper to fix! Which I like.
