R-84 wheels fitting tpms

I have a new set of R-84 rims that i picked up for a good price. Can someone tell me if i could install TPMS onto these rims. I know they were used on 2002 thru 2008 on various "S" models. They were also known as X-Lite.

First question.....
Are they the small lug nut holed r-84 rims....sold until mid 2006, or the bigger ones....
The earlier ones might need a bit of drilling to fit on you newer, larger lugs....might fit, but be very tight...
R84 rims are pretty light for OEM...had a set on my car.
Pretty sure that the tpms will fit...have heard of a few that were done ....if I recall the valve stem area on the inside is OK...so I think you are in good shape. I never had to do it...but like I said, think I remember folks doing it years back.

The TPMS tire rack sells work fine. Oddly the first place I took the V-spokes (NTB) had trouble with them sealing, but the second place had no trouble at all. So make sure you have a good tire guy.
