have some gt-7s on the was..will the tps work in them? .. i remember a thread along time ago about how to make TPS fit in any wheel but i cant find it..

 

they fit in the TE37s without needing that band peice. just fit like stock.

 

Our volks use an angled valve, and when installing my GT-7's I coudln't figure out how to attach the TPS to it.

 

hmm different answers..

 

I have GT-7's and TPS but it wasn't easy, they need to band them in. I had to go back once to get them put back right because they came loose in my wheel. They banded them to the high part of the interior of the rim and after a high speed test run @140 they slid to the lower part i guess and came loose. They made real bad noise when going slow and the vibration from the wheels being out of balance was wicked. I've had them in for a while now and no problems once we figured it out. PS make sure you label them when you take them out and put them back in the same wheel!

 

well I have TE37s, apparently not all volks are created equal in regaurds to valve setup.

 

the valve opening on GT-7's are in the center of the rim behind the spokes and have a 90 degree bent valve stem that comes through one of the spokes. I believe the te-37 have a setup almost identical to stock thereby allowing you to put the sensor in the stock location.

 

Tim, how'd you do it with the bands?

I think they might fit on some 18" wheels, but they'll need some mod to fit on 19's.

on the picture below from the above link that's a home made band set-up, HRE and someone else actually make a kit to do the same thing with very similar parts. The hole in the middle of the rim is where the valve stem comes out to answer that other question.
