Limited wheel question
I have a 2017 Limited with the original rims. I’m changing tires soon and would like to upgrade to a metal valve stem to improve the aesthetics. Does anyone know the hole size and length I will need? I reached out to Summit Racing and they couldn’t answer the question. Thanks for any information anyone can provide.

They should be able to help you out.

I think the batteries in many/most TPMS monitors are good for around 5 years. You will most probably be changing tires before then & that would provide you an opportunity to swap the stems.

I was told the earlier ones were five years but now they last for longer. I tried to Google it up, answers varied from 5 to 12. So... yes, wait until tires wear out then swap the stems. Good advice.

Once again, I think the valve stem is a part of the TPMS unit. It may be possible to change the stem part, but I doubt it. These links show pics of Ford TPMS units.

Your best bet would be to stop at a dealer and have someone in the Part's Dept show you one.
