Default Wheel Sensor Swap??

So I have a 2011 F150 Lariat. The original 20s had so much peeling i just wanted an OEM wheel to replace. I got a pair of 18s (see pics) to swap with. He said they didn’t have sensors. Will those fit on the 20s and will they need to be reprogrammed?

I'm sure the PSI rating for the 18" tires are different than the 20s. Did those wheels come with the sensors?

unfortunately they didn’t, so I couldn’t swap my sensors and reprogram them?

All the Ford wheels are compatible with their sensors. Have them swapped. The PSI has nothing to do with it....but, if you didn't change the type of tire (P vs LT) that won't change either. Door says 35psi for passenger tires.

Yes you can use your old sensors on the new wheels. You may have to retrain them. Instructions are in your owners manual.

Welcome oh and if your sensors are original I wouldn't reuse them as battery life is on average 7 years. I'd opt for new ones now while you'll have the tires demounted.

New sensors. It's a sealed unit.

Sorry guys, are you guys talking about the Tire Pressure Monitoring sensors? Or the ABS sensor?
Or are there Speed sensors for each wheel?

Yes, I am a noob.
