    valve stem for fuchs rim

    What type of tire valve stem will work on a 5.5j X 15 RIM?

    Where can I pick one up?

    You need the wide ones that most tire shops don't have. For some reason the Les Schwab chain carries them around here. Les jacks you for $5 a stem. I imagine they could be found at the source for a quarter of that, but I've never spent the time to look.

    NAPA has them. I just used them on my 5.5 x 15 fuchs.

    Our local Discount Tire has a bin full of "fatty" valve stems, they also have the 5x130mm lug-centric adaptor for proper balancing, I was pleasantly surprised.
