Assuming you want to mount the TPS (Tire Pressure Sensor) in the identical manner as Nissan intended, it depends on the style wheel. Specifically, what is the orientation of the hole to mount the tire pressure valve, & how much space is on the wheel behind the mounting hole. Wheel diameter is immaterial.

Problem comes when aftermarket wheel does not have a sidewall hole for the valve stem. Here's what I did to keep the TPS on my after market wheels

The hole for the valve stem was in the center of the wheel and was for a valve extension that turned 90 degrees into the 3 piece forged wheels bolted rim

We fabricated this slick little bracket that mounted to the after market rims valve stem flange inside the wheel.

wow really nice and creative. would you mind telling me what you used and what kind of bracket you used that made it so secure? now does the balance of the tire get thrown out of whack?

We fabricated the bracket from scratch from scrap aluminum that we had. We then bead blasted the bracket after fabrication. Just used the factory TPS hardware to mount the TPS to the bracket and the bracket basically acts in same capacity as the metal washer retainer for the aftermarket wheel manufacturer's valve stem. When that valve stem is tightened into place it holds the bracket secure to the wheel as well as retains the rubber gasket that seals the wheel.

Thanks for the compliment.
