 Havent posted in a while but... any how got a quick question... If i were to get new rims would I have to have my tire pressure system adjusted to fit a new rim and tire... I plan on going from 17" to 18"... Anyone know?

 No you dont need to because the tC uses the brake system to determine tire rotation not a TPMS.

 Not on 07+ tCs. You'll need the TPMS sensors from your stock rims transfered to your new rims.

 Most likely not. It'll require taking the tires off the stock rims and moving the sensors to the new rims and then mounting and balancing tires on the new rims

 Sorry for the wrong info bro I thought your tC was an 06. Since you have TPMS the new wheels will need to have a second valve stem inside that's where the TPMS gets its readings from.
