There are actually TWO valve stems?!?!?!

What in the…!

This seemed so weird to me that I had to turn to Google. One explanation is that one is on a different angle to protect the TPMS from damage when mounting the tire or if the tire goes flat. The more common explanation applies mostly to racing - "Wheels have two valve stems for two reasons. First, so you can pump in air with one valve stem and check tire pressures with an attached gauge on the other. And the second reason is to facilitate nitrogen air refilling, one valve stem is used for pumping nitrogen in while the other stem is purging regular air."

Just unlucky!! Since the wheel is ET 35 19 x 9.5, I thought I was good for fitment.



I never done that before. I cannot seem to find good online resources for it. Any suggestion on how this is done. Shave, check fit, shave? But how much is safe?

A Dremel tool is a handheld portable grinder and it can also be used as a small drill. Have a friend help you if you are not sure. All that has to be done is MINOR removal at the interference spot 30 thousands should do the job. That is the thickness of a matchbook cover. You would have to grind a 1/4 inch deep before you would have trouble, and that is 250 thousands.
