Exclamation Questions about V90 TPMS

Hi all. Looking to score a V90 T6 RD deal shortly.

In my country, the car is specced with the 19" (5-Spoke Matt Black Diamond Cut) as stock, instead of the gorgeous 20" shown at launch.

Couple of qns here:

1) If I go aftermarket, eg. BBS 20" CH-R, is there any way to easily transfer the TPMS sensors to the BBS?

2) Since I'm upsizing the wheels, would a visit to the dealer for calibration be needed? For that matter, would it void my warranty?

3) Any idea if the stock 19" config would fit S60/V60 cars? For re-sale purposes...

Thanks for reading, cheers!

Default V90 tpms

Hi, I may be wrong and I would be corrected but I believe the wheel size has no bearing on the TPMS as it monitors and compairs wheel speeds via ABS thus detecting any loss of pressure in any wheel and so speed differences due to reduced rolling circumference.

It really depends on what the car has to how much it matters if the wheel size is changed,

ie self parking aid and if the new to standard wheels are any wider and stand a chance of catching the wheel archs on lock,

The SPA platform cars work off the ABS but also have sensors behind the valves in wheels, but been rubber valves with sensors rather than metal screw in ones there not that easy to change without breaking them,
