tire pressure monitoring system?
I ordered a GT on Monday night and have a replacement set of rims in mind once the car arrives. Because its a 5 speed, I've been told it could be awhile. Can anyone tell me if the 2007 has a tire pressure monitoring system or something to that effect, and am I limited in which rims I can install on the car? If there is a system, can I override it? Thanks for any assistance.

Look in your owners manual!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it has a picture of it. You can't overide it. Ford P/N for new strap kit 6F2A-1A193 A thru M they have kits for 14" thru 24" rims. The system is Federal mandated for 2007 and beyond all makes.

You can't override the system. I looked and asked about it. My car had 20" rims on it before I even purchased it (the dealer had them installed) and they didn't do anything to make the TPMS system work. But I know there are straps and sensors out there. You should be able to use the sensors from the stock wheels and buy a different size strap. I don't know where the best place to get them is, but I know www.tirerack.com has them, although they look pricey on there. Your best bet would be to go under the tire section in here, there are a lot of questions on there. Colin from the above website has a wealth of information too, and he won't sit there and try to sell you their parts. Oooorrrrr, you can just suck it up like I am and hit the "reset" button every time you start the car to clear the TPMS malfunction warning.
