So the local tire shop mounting my recent re-finished 14x5.5 Fuchs does not have the right vavle stem, luckily the owner checked on the installer's work and notice the the regular valve sem was not seated properly. So is there special valve stems for the 14" of Fuchs in general, or is it that the tire shop was not adequately supplied with the valve stems ??
I can see where the hole where the valve stem seats is especially thicker than the typical wheel. I should have taken a picture. Anyone have any been there done that before comments ??? Thanks in advance Ted |

 You may already know this, but the 14" fuchs were originally fitted with tubes (at least mine were) however, they should be able to find valve stems that will fit OK These are mine with 195 /60 Dunlops fitted |

You need to use the correct dia valves. No bead lock on the rims either, but I hear thats not a big deal. |
