Last year I had a C7 Vette, changed the wheels and in 2 minutes the TPMS was fine!

Paul explained to me that new set would need to be programmed to car. He suggested I could buy off Amazon GM TPMS programmer for a reasonable price. He said that way when I swap back and forth from one set to the other I could handle my own programming without having to get a location to do it for me. If your Corvette self-learned, then that's great. However, he didn't mention any capability such as that and I didn't think to ask.

They do not self learn. Need to be programmed. Takes 5 min with programmer.

I never experienced any rubbing with the 285/35 R20 BFG's, as the tires treads were already worn down a bit already from use on our 2015 1LE (perhaps why some see rubs, and we did not on our '17).

The BFG's are now worn out (from 2 seasons use between the '15 1LE and '17 1LE deep into the spring this year) so I ordered replacements today.

Went with Continental Extreme Contact DWS in 285/30 R 20 sizes. Yes, 30 profile this go around to match 2017 front specs. A fellow Forum member here at work is running this exact set up with good success. On 11" rear rims.

Tire Rack was running Continental DWS special in this size at $127 each (not DWS 06's, just straight up DWS - apparently OEM for some Jag).

Will post new pics once these go on. They should look even better than the BFG's due to lower profile (~1/2" lower sidewall). They look great on co-worker's 1LE.

FWIW, the '17 TPMS sensor number should be at GMPartsguy.com site....it IS different than Gen 5 1LE sensors (had to swap the TPMS's out when we moved the winter set over to the '17). TPMS reset is via tool only. They will not relearn on their own as tire position has to be set for system to recognize location (in the order of LF, RF, RR, LR, etc.).

Any pics yet?

Call me crazy but I prefer how my car looks on smaller wheels and with more rubber.

Paul from PK Auto Design recommended TMPS they normally use rather than the OEM's. So, I went with those and they programmed to the car in like 15 seconds. By the way, here is my setup now on the car. I'm extremely happy with them after about 800 mikes of driving.

Looking good Larry!

Nice choice! I like the aggressive offroad look. Any issues with fitment or strut clearance? Spacers needed? I know they are rally wheels so I'd guess backspacing isn't an issue with the Brembos. Order off Tirerack? Thanks for posting!

The only issue is a need to move balancing weights. Calipers clearance is so tight that wheel weights cannot be in line. No spacers and yes, Tirerack.
