Default 2013 factory chrome wheels bolt on?

Hi I bought a set of wheels and tires from someone with 2013 factory 6 spoke 18 inch chrome wheels.
I have a 2007 lariat screw with 18 inch aluminum wheels. Can I just directly swap these out or are there some issues I need to be aware of like tire pressure monitors or something?
Thanks in advance.

You'll be able to swap them right out without an issue as far as I know.
I'm not too sure if the TPM's are different or not. I know for the 15+ they're different though

They'll bolt up fine. Tpms from the 2013 will not work on your 2007. You can take the band mounted sensors from your 2007 wheels and put them on the 2013 wheels, or you can get aftermarket valvestem style sensors and put them on the new wheels and have them programmed.

If I just bolt up the wheels and don't swap TPMS will I have annoying buzzers or lights on dash?

No buzzer, but your low tire pressure indicator will be on.

You will have the TPMS fault icon.. and can not pass state inspection with this lit.. to swap the band sensors from your 07 to the 13 wheels you will need new bands.. the OEM bands have to be cut to remove the sensor cradles. The 13 sensors will not work with the 07 system.

Go with (new) compatible valve stem sensors; remember that the 2007 band style, like all in wheels, have batteries and it is hard to imagine a 2007 battery lasting much longer. I'm just now hearing much from people complaining about battery failures.

There are several brands that offer "universal" models; some programmers are very reasonable in price. I don't remember specifics, but Amazon has several.

Good call on the dead batteries... I would swap to the stem style also if I were him.
