YES.. you'll have to split your factory tires.. You may be able to use the factory "straps" on theafter marketrim.. There is a censor located on the strap.. Your manual will tell/show you where it needs tobe placed.. I lost some money on the first go around.. Had to learn the hard way..

IF you got them, split them.. I think, now i think, the 4 straps for my 18s ran me around $200 +/-.. Censors, i have no clue.. Just check with Ford..

2 of my sensors have gone bad. They were asking around $180 for both at discount tire. Bands are like $20 for all 4.

If you didnt keep your factory sensors then you wont be able to buy new bands to remount the sensors. I know I priced the bands at the Ford dealer and they ran $48 each. The sensors are pretty expensive so I wouldnt buy new sensors from Ford!! OUCH! I still have my factory sensors; we pulled them off when I bought my 20s I just havent bought new bands yet so I just deal with tire pressure message. Ive gotten used to it!! lol Im sure Ill buy new bands some day!! lol
