Will 2011 LT Rims will fit 2012 LS1?

(*NOTE-talking about 1LS not LS1, lol)

As stated from reading through the forums, I gather 18" 2011 1LT rims will fit my 2012 1LS that has the stock 18" steel rims? And the stock tires will swap/fit also I believe.

The reason I ask is I have the chance to get the 18" 2011 LT rims, as I am not to crazy about the stock 1LS steel rims I have.

Assuming they fit on my 2012, what about the TPMS sensors. Will my TPMS sensors work with the LT rims? The seller does NOT have the original sensors. I don't want to go through the swap and have the TPMS not work or throw a code. What does this TPMS sensor attach to anyway?

Thoughts?

TIA -

P.S. - Attached is picture of actual car/rims. He swapped them for another type.

Big Vic.....seeing as you have a V6 model car.....ALL of the stock factory wheels will fit and work on your car, the 18's, 19's, 20's and 21's.

Sensors attach to the valve stem on the inside of the rim.

I just did this to mine. I bought a base model 1LS. I found some 1LT wheels with tires on local Craigslist for $450. I bought those, then took them and car to tire shop. I had them take my stock black wheels off, take my tires and tpms and switch them to the 1LT rims. Everything went fine, and it looks allot better now. Proceed without fear.
