Rubber TPMS sensors in place of aluminum ones.

So all 4 of my TPMS sensors are fucked regarding the core. I can't take them out. I have 3 sensors from a base model Cobalt that uses a rubber valve stem that bolts to the sensor. Much better design. Will this fit on the SS wheels?

The rubber valve stem TPMS sensors can be installed where bolt in sensors used to be. All rims use the same size valve stem hole, the only difference between the rubber and bolt in style is how they seal.

I wasn't sure if the way the sensor hung in the wheel would fit. I know all stems are the same lol

We use the same sensor / stem assembly for all 2009 cobalt models , but that's for my aftermarket wheels. You may want to check with your Chevy Parts Department to sure about the OE wheels

It should fit without interference. I have a set of rubbers in my stock rims because my bolt ins corroded away, and we stock the rubber style at my shop. The only time we really use bolt in sensors anymore is if the customer says they want them given the choice, as they do look cleaner with some style rims.

Do rubbers all the way, keeps the penor from corroding.
