The sensors attach to the valve stem in the 15's. Almost positive the 12's do also. Just double check.

Shouldn't be any issues

Again, thank you very much.

I just got back from picking up a set of wheels and Hankook Dynapro tires with 100 miles on them.

I will post pictures at some point, but the wheels are stamped +44mm, so should be a perfect match for my 2013 FX2.

I now need to order the TPMS 12 sensors and get them installed at some point in the near future.

One more question. Do after market TPMS sensors work just as well as the OEM variety? I spoke with Discount tire and they assure me they have some after market sensors that will work in my F150 for $60 each. I figure I will have to pay them to replace the sensors and mount the tires, so am wondering if it is worth just paying to have it all done at Discount.

Ford parts says my TPMS part number is 9L3Z-1A189-A. Any other part numbers that will work. Kind of confusing stuff when searching eBay.

You are correct, the Sport wheels are +44. Thanks.

Just picked up a set as well. Did you use the original 2013 lugs? What did you do about the TPMS?

I did not buy F-150 sensors but have bought both Toyota and Infiniti form them before. 100% legit.

Looks like you can save yourself at least $180-90

$60 for One sensor for a set of snow tires is just a bit too much.

Agreed. I'll see what they can do tomorrow.

Here are a few pictures of the new wheels, tires, comparison with my current setup and a shot of the wheel size stamp on the 2015 wheels.

After researching the topic, I found that the 2013 wheels have a +44 offset and the 2015 wheels are +30.

Are there any problems with putting 2015 wheels on a 2013? I won't consider the newer wheel options if it could damage the truck, suspension etc.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
As long as they are 6x135mm on the bolt pattern and you limit tire width to 12 inches in width you should be OK. These wheels have deep backspacing (close to 6-1/2 inches) and wide tires may cause rubbing on the inside. If you go with close to stock specs on the tires you should have no suspension problems.

Finally got it all worked out. After some deliberation, I decided to just let DT put in the correct TMPS sensors. This way, if I ran into any issues I could just take the truck back to them and have them figure out the problem.

They cut $10 off each sensor, balanced the wheels, re-trained the TPMS and installed the new wheels. Total $270 out the door with lifetime balancing and rotation.

Overall, for me, it was worth the extra $200 to have them do the work.

I did confirm the original 2013 wheels and the new 2015 wheels are the same size, with same offset.
