Think he'll have to use TPMS sensors like he has in the 02'

TPS will not work and the wheel offsets are NOT the same.

the TPMs need to be changed, the wheels can (i think) be used with appropriate spacers. do a search there have been numerous c6 wheels to C5 application posts made here.

From what I have heard, the fronts will work fine, the rears require a spacer. And the TPS will need to be swapped out for ones that work on an 01-04 Vette.
