Default What would you do?

So I bought some used 2013 rubicon wheels and tires to put on my 2012 2dr Sport from a local tire place a couple months ago and they can not figure out how to get the tpsm's to work. Now that I'm getting frustrated they are offering me a deal on a set of terra grapplers. They are offering a trade for my rubi tires and in return I get nitto terra grapplers 305/70 r17(5 of them) plus a 2.5" BB, and spacers for the wheels all for $1500 installed. The problem comes... I understand that this wont fix my sensor problem, and we are building a house and I'm worried about it fitting in the garage. Would you still pull the trigger or pass?

It's really not that great of a deal, it's a wash when you break it down. Buy a procal and an air gauge and zero out your tire sensor and check your air the old fashion way.

With that combo you shouldn't have any issue with fitting through a standard 7' garage door. My JKU with 37's and 4+ inches of lift barely scraped the door seal with the soft top and had maybe 2" of clearance with the hardtop. I don't need a computer to tell me I have a flat. With large off-road tires, it's pretty obvious. You can turn off the warning with a ProCal or other programmer.

Well some problems with that... I am not mechanically savvy at all and I live in a downtown loft at the moment so that probably won't be happening.
