Anyone have the stock tpms sensors that we need for these?

Flicking through rockauto leads to many part numbers.

This is for the 06/07 crowd. Part no maybe different for the LS6 crowd.

I got GM part no: 25774006 or 25774007. Not sure which is which now.

The stock part (taken from my 2006 CTS-V) is 25774006.

I have this Friday marked on my calendar as "mid-May". But I guess technically it's next week. So giddy as we get closer. Still no reply to my email from the Forgestar crew. I take it they're busy hammering out our wheels!

Already asked. They won't. There isn't enough demand on the first generation CTS-V for them to make multiple sizes and 19" was the most appropriate size given the design of the car and the community's ride quality expectations.

Heard back from Peter. There is a small delay in the delivery date due to the changes in color/finish. His email said we'd have them by the end of the month.

Thanks for the updates folks. Got tpms sensors. Time for tire shopping I guess.

For those thinking of running MPSS tires.

We have the following sizes need to pick from for the rear:
285/40ZR19 (107Y)
295/30ZR19 (100Y)
295/35ZR19(104Y)

I'm thinking 295/35.

Fronts:
255/35ZR19 (96Y)
255/40ZR19 (100Y)
255/45ZR19 (104Y)

I'm thinking 255/40ZR19.

I just ordered a set of these wheels myself. I know there's roughly a 7-week wait since they're custom but I wanted to get the tires in the meantime. I was told:

245/40/19 FRONT
275 or 285/35/19 REAR

but that might have just been read from earlier in this thread since I saw the same thing here. I just want to make sure there won't be any tire-rub when hitting bumps/dips in the road or cornering hard. Does anyone think these sizes will cause any rubbing?

When asked about larger wheel options, the cognizant Forgestar mechanical engineer stated that they wanted these wheels to work with stock CTS-Vs with no rubbing issues.

Personally, I think everyone running stock trailing arms will have rubbing issues regardless of the tire size--the rim will only have 5-7 mm of clearance, depending on your ride height. Killernoodle on the Cadillac Forums has been crafting custom trailing arms, but he's taking a break for a little while due to demand being an obnoxiously slow trickle.

KN may have to end his sabbatical in the event we all experience rubbing.

Was going to try and cram a 295 out back (I have offset arms already) but maybe I'll stick to 285s. BTW 285/255 is standard M5/M6 size I think in case anyone's shopping.

I went 285's out back 245's up front.

If they rub I'm going to scream.

Peter isn't answering emails either.......wtf!

Im just ready to see a set on a V. Preferably some black ones on a silver V. lol I'd imagine they will look good but its always hard to tell until they are actually on the car. I like the look of the wheels... I almost ordered them myself but I just dont know how they will look with the lines on the V. Photoshop only does so much.
