1) Will they fit?

2) Did I move them from the old wheels to the new ones and keep them on the right corners?

That should be all you have to worry about.
The TPMS sensors don't automatically fit all aftermarket wheels. If they don't fit the wheels you buy in the normal fashion (through the valve stem hole), you can always used the banding method described in the sticky at the top of this forum.

If you don't keep the sensors on the proper corners of the car, then they won't be displaying correctly in the display. For example, the Front Left pressure may be reading the pressure from the rear right wheels if you get the sensors mixed up.

If you're buying a combination, then you're kinda' screwed as far as the TPMS sensors goes. They aren't going to provide any so you'll be riding without them. If you want to keep the ability to monitor your tire pressure, you're going to have to get somebody to brake the bead on one side, install the sensors then re-seat the tire.

A lot of people just don't put the sensors back in and learn to live without the capability.

Yes, you want to transfer the stock ones. The sensors are "registered" to the computer in the car. If you get new sensors, those have to be registered to the cpmputer or they won't be recognized. When you do that, the old sensors are no longer recognized. It's best to stick with the stock ones.
