Default Pressure sensors in new wheels

I've been scanning all previous posts in this section and have not found the data I am looking for hence this post. If it is here I apologize and just direct me to the data.

I'm buying either the ASA JH8 or the Kazera KZ-A in 18" x 8.5" front and 18" x 9.5 rear. If I don't take the tire pressure sensors out of my stock tires and have them installed in my new tires and wheels will there be an issue with the tire pressure sensor on my dash? Will it go blank since there are no sensors in the wheels or will it emit that high pitched whistle constantly?

Since I've gone this far what wheel offset is recommended for 245/40/18 in the front and 275/40/18 in the rear? While I've seen all sorts of data it all seems to be suggestions rather than "this is the best offset for that wheel".

The available offsets for the 18 x 8.5 are 25, 30, and 45. The offsets for the 18 x 9.5 are 20, 35, and 40. I want a seamless installation with no pain or problems but don't have the confidence in my understanding of the material to figure it out on my own.

Thanks in advance for any advice. My forte is fly fishing so if any one has any questions in that vein you can PM me any time. I've been FF for over forty years!

Mine only comes on after an hour or so of constant driving, it's never came on cruising around town, just on trips. It does'nt bother me.

If you do not replace the sensors out of your stockers, your dash lights will come on and the TPS lights will blink all the time.

I installed some GT-7's last month and no tps sensors and no warning lights ever came on it just shows blank lines on the sensor.

I'm okay with blank lines on the data gage. Thanks.
