tire valves

pappyMember

I'm repainting my stock wheels and I'm going to replace the valve stems. What kind of stems do I need to go to. I know the rim thickness is almost a quarter of an inch while the valve hole looks like a standard size....thanks for any help...Pappy

Try a tire mounting specialist in your area. I find that the aftermarket chromed metal stems fit, work well, and do not leak. Best of luck with it. Marlin #5723

Use the steel stems. Rim is too thick for rubber ones. Wiggle those steel stems and check for good seal before leaving the tire store. Don't ask how I know to do this.
