Rim type

[cdv3286]

I would like to get some TPMS installed on my travel trailer and need to know what type of rims they are? Does anyone know the rim type? I know they are 14 inch but looking for the profile code... i.e. "J".

Trailer is a 2019 2201MB

Don't have access to my trailer at the moment so if anyone has a pic of the stamp on the inside of there rims that would be great!

Out of curiosity, why do you need to know rim types? When I bought both sets of my TPMS units, I did not need to know rim types???

The kit that I have to integrate into my Ford Dash states the following as the requirement.

Here are the wheel requirements to install the TPMS kit:

1) J type flange – This is most if not all passenger and trailer wheels have a J type flange. If you look on the back of the wheel you will see the size denoted as 16x6.0J where the J indicates the flange type.
2) Wheel width greater than 3.5” – If you have a wheel that is 16x6.0J for example the 6.0 means the width is 6.0” and the TPMS kit will work.
3) 0.452” diameter valve stem hole – Again most if not all passenger and trailer wheels have a 0.452” diameter valve stem hole.

My track luck I never fall within the most definitions:

On a side note, I was recently told that I should have had metal valve stems installed on my tires so that the TPMS would read the tire temps better. Anybody heard this before?



You may want to consider that as well.
