Default What should i need to mount GM TPMS on my wheels?

I ordered GM TPMS Sensors.

There is already a 90 stem the enters the barrel of the wheel on the flat part and there is also I bolt driven through the Dipped area on a angle with 2 nuts on the end.

I need some help trying to find out how to mount TPMS on my configuration I was told I could use a big filter clamp around the whole wheel but I rather not do that or buy new adapters for like 100$ and I also rather not do that.

Any options for me here?

Several years ago, one of the 3pc wheel makers made a fancy holder for a sensor, and it mechanically held the sensor down in the dropped part of the rim. I saw a picture, and it looked ingenious. I can't, however, remember if it was CCW or HRE. You might try their websites.

HRE is awesome gotta say he knew instantly what I was dealing with.

The consesis is the bolt in there now is simply a plug. All I need to do is remove it and then pop my tpms sensor in.

Thanks for the recommendation!

Just be careful, though, that the tip of the sensor clears your brake caliper, as it will stick out of the wheel a bit...
