My records indicate different part numbers. I'd swap the TPMS on the cars.

C6 run I believe at 315Mhz and C7 is 433Mhz. So they would be unable to communicate to the new location.

I know on my 2015 it's 433mhz. And my son's 2009 C6 is 315mhz.

C6 cars built for foreign markets use the 433 mhz freq, but all other C6's use 315 mhz.

Not only are the TPMS sensors incompatible, but the C6 wheels will not work on your C7. The spokes will hit the calipers on the front wheels.

C6 gumbies will clear C7 base calipers.

I tried to use a friends C6 gumbies on my 2018 Base C7. The spokes hit the front calipers on my car. Did GM change to larger brakes on later C7s vs earlier C7s?

Glad I am not the only one that tried it and found out they will not work. It was close - so maybe if you used some wheels spacers.... I would personally not use wheel spacers on my car but to each his own.
