I have an 08 civic Lx and was looking at putting 07 SI wheels on it but they do not have tpms on them? Is it possible to make it work

Welcome to the forums.

I have an 06 si, so I'm not exactly sure. But I think you just have to drill a hole in the rim and then insert the sensor with a piece of tape between the sensor and the inside of the rim.

You should do a search for 'tpms'. I am sure you will find your answer if you look for a few minutes.

Edit: I just did the search myself. Apparently all you need is an 11mm socket. So don't take my advice and go drill holes in your new rims.

the sensor attaches to the valve stem..All you need is some spacers for the front to prevent rubbing and someone whos experienced in balancing tires..
