Im planning to get some 24'' but......

what up guys!

Im planning to get some 24'' verde madonna wheels for my 300 touring,but before I buy them.

I'd like to know if those will fit just streight in the car or I will need to do some modification on it.
Also do I need to do some modification for TPMS?
since Im going to remove the old wheels.


Those are 24''x 9.5 ,5x115 ,18 offset and 275-25-24 ventus tires or toyo proxes.

any feeback will help.
(I assume my car does come with TPMS but Im not sure .if there is someone who can tell me how can i find it out that be great!!)

I have these rims in 20" and they are heavy! I can't imagine how heavy the 24" rims are gonna be! Are you planning on upgrading your brakes too to stop these bad boys? I had my dealer install the new TPM sensors and they told me they had a little bit of difficulty getting them attached but all is well now. I'm also running these on Toyo Proxes S/T tires and they suit me well so I'd go for the Toyos.

So i do need to replace those sensor ?.

I hear ya on the tires. Do what you gotta do. As far as the wheels they are not light weight alloys so they are heavier than stock wheels and if you have a Touring you're gonna use a lot of gas to get those massive wheels turning and then use up your brake pads faster trying to slow them down.

You can use your old TPMS sensors and put them in the new wheels, just have someone who knows what they are doing take their time installing them on these rims, it can be done.

If you don't drive it that often then you could probably take your time researching different options for the brakes. Glad I could be of some help!

I don't know how much experience bigsmooth has with 24", but I have been putting them on since 06. I had 24x10 on 255/30 with the eibach pro-kit. I drove the car daily for over 40,000 miles on my toyo's. Never gave me a problem. No tranny issues, no brake issues. Go for it and don't trip on the small stuff. They ride better than 22" all day.
