Will these wheels fit?
Forgive my ignorance.....
Will these OEM Corvette C7 wheels with Michelin Pilot run flats (Front 245/40/18, Rear 285/35/19), fit without issue on my 1 inch lowered C5?
Also, any issues with respect to the tire pressure sensors?

Yes, the fronts will fit with no problem. The rear on the other hand will need adapters to push the wheel out in line with the fender lip.
I just installed C6 wheels on on mine and I used a 20 mm adapter.
Some guys like a 25 mm adapter but IMO the 20 mm is fine.
Here is the link, with pictures of the install. Also took a shot of how far the wheel is out even with the fender lip.

As for the TPMS ? Nope, they won't work, need C5 for your year.

If the wheels are still equipped with the C7 TPMS then considering how young they are in battery life you could likely sell them and make a little money back on your purchase. I'd imagine there's plenty of C7 owners that run two set of tires and wouldn't mind having a good working set. Regardless you're re-using the C5 TPMS.
