15" spooler wheel vs 16" bridge spoke

Hi...I purchased some 16" bridge spoke wheels online. Will my stock lug nuts from my 15" spooler wheels work with the 16" bridge spokes? Also, I have rubber valve stems...on my 15's... and the 16" bridge spokes have rubber valve stems as weel as mounted conti 87v's...does that mean that the tpsm system is not in the wheel or tire, but somewhere else? someone said they are in the hub, the hub of what? my rotors? The wheels should be arriving in the next few days. thanks...

It will be a straight swap. Your lug bolts will work. Since you currently have rubber valve stems, you have the older TPMS system which uses the ABS sensor to detect that the hub spins faster when the tire loses air.
