I'd like to swap the 18" wheels on my 05 for the 19s on my 2013. Are the clearances all the same?
Sweet. It seems like the only thing I have to worry about is TPMS. Does it just disable if it doesn't see sensors, or am I gonna have a dummy light? I know when they weren't setup right on my winter tires, I had a light. They needed to be "relearned". I'm guessing it's probably too much to ask for the car to know there are none present at all, and just not set a light... lol.I'm running '11 or '12 brembo wheels on my '08. No spacing differences. '13-14 is still a S197 chassis. Can't speak of S550 wheels on a S197, but I suspect they fit as well.
YES. All the same on standard brake setup.
NOTE EXCEPTION - Brembo setups will fit on standard setups but standard setups will not fit on Brembo front Brake setups.
i see that the 2007-09 sensors are a different part number than 2010-2014. Is it safe to assume that the ultimate issue is that you cannot reprogram the sensors to the earlier car?
Sometimes.
There are plenty of 18" wheels that will clear the 4-piston Brembos.

I thought I read somewhere you can retrofit TPMS onto most wheels with some sort of band. Is that true?
Is the stem mounted sensors not working a common thing? I hate TPMS, too. It's government regulation at it's worst. As for switching wheels/tires, the place I go to in Peyton, CO takes care of anything related to changing between the two sets for free, twice a year. As long as you've purchased a set of tires from them, they do the mounting and balancing (if you only have one set of wheels), and/or re-syncing the TPMS sensors.You can, or buy the stem mounted sensors. I bought universal bands on Rock auto and moved my OE sensors into my new wheels, worked perfect.
I bought a set of stem mounted aftermarket sensors for my explorer and I can't get them to program. I hate the TPMS system, it sucks for anyone with more than 1 set of wheels and tires for different seasons.
Any idea how much that will run me? Can I reuse anything from the 19" wheels I currently have on the 2013 (that I intend to put on the 05 after I steal those wheels/tires)?I don't know why not, if your vehicle uses band-style TPMS. I did that on my Ranger, I bought American Racing wheels for it, a place on ebay was selling new bands, cradles and OE Ford sensors so I just bought the whole set and the tire shop put them on the wheels.
If you do go this route you have to get the Ford TPMS tool (around $30) to sync the sensors with your vehicle. Again, had to do that on my Ranger, apparently there is no self-learning functionality there.
I think that very same suggestion was made in another thread I read. Must've been you.If/when I get another Mustang new enough to have TPMS I will pull all four sensors and drop them into a 6" long capped on both ends PCV pipe with a schrader valve. Pressurize and stick it in the trunk.
If you can' take care of your tire pressures, you shouldn't have a vehicle.

I currently have 18s on the 2005 that I want to put on the 2013. I like those wheels/tires better, and wouldn't want to buy new ones if I can just get those to work on the 2013, and throw the 19s that came with the 2013 on the 2005.Am I understanding your original post- you want to take the 19" wheels off your '13, and put them on your '05? But not swapping anything onto the '13?
If that's the case, you don't have anything to worry about unless you want the sensors out of the '13's wheels. The '05 has no TPMS (it was government mandated starting in '08).
Maybe someone with more knowledge of the '13 sensors can chime in if you have questions about those- if they use the valve stem style semsors I have not dealt with those, just the older band style. Regardless of the style you have to take the tire off the rim to remove or replace them.
