valve stem for outlaw (951 spare) rims?

[haycait911]

what valve stem should I use on the 951 spare rim for road use? they come with two. my thought is to use a machine screw and nut to plug the hole for the deflator one. should I use the other one as is or remove, drill out the hole, and use conventional rubber stems. my preference is the rubber for real world use and also, one of the rims is missing the stems. anyone dealt with this or have any thoughts? thanks, Don.

To hi-jak this thread a little, how wide a tire could be mounted on these? Would you get a 205 to stay on safely?

Thanks, sorry for the hi-jack

#1 We typically reuse the stems with new seals. You can find motorcycle stems to match. The "extra" hole (over pressure) can be welded or use a plug, bolt or stem.
#2 I have seen 205/60 on them but 185/65 are a better fit. They are 5 1/2 wide and they have the same problems that normal 5 1/2s do with 205s.

Don, you should have a complete set of stems. One set was attached (taped) to the painted wheel. I did not reinstall them after I painted the wheel.

Stem # TR430 for future reference.
