TPMS on 20" how to swap?

I have a question local tire shop said that the tpms are on with a band on mustangs. Is there anyone that sells bands for 20" wheels or is there anyway of dis-activating the system to avoid the light on the dash to stay on

thanks

AM sells the bands. When I bought them, the kits (bands, mounting plate and adhesive) were about $18 each so you'll need 4 kits. The bands are universal. Just swap the sensor from your old wheels.

There's no way to disarm the TPMS. There's been talk about putting the sensors inside a pressurized canister in the trunk but I don't know anyone that has done it.

Be sure that they are reinstalled properly on the 20s.
I have heard horror stories of the sensor cradles coming loose
and destroying the tire from the inside out...

Use the 3M tape as the factory does.......
