04 blaster wheel flip probs!!!

[yzrider]

well, today i get my kenda's mounted and crap, well they also atempted to put my new 90 degree valve stems in so can flip the rims, well, they broke one stem so i can come back and get some other stems mounted for free, well, i came back and tried to put the one with the new stem on and it still wasn;t short enough, are there any particular stems i need to flip it, i'm thinkin of just putin spacers on now, haha, idk what stem to do, it would have to be short!!!! i don't want to drill the rims so i wount do it that way.

look on ebay..there are some relly short ones on there

 

[yzrider]

ok, i waz also wonderin, will this make it really hard to get to the valve stem??? to put air in or take out of the tire???

 

[yzrider]

how about enki (sorry bout spelin) 3/4 inchers, that short enough?????

 

[unsolvedmystery]

just my 2 cents. i like my spacers. i have no problems putting air in my tires. but it is more expensive. maybe someone on here had spacers and got new a-arms and would sell you some? maybe some bent valve stems?

Any tire shop should have or be able to get low clearance stems. They use them on fancy wheels where they don't want the stem to show. The ones I have are made by Gorilla. They are chrome and the stem is actually removable, leaving an internally threaded piece that a chrome cap goes on. The whole assembly is as big around as a nickle and sticks up about 3/8". When you need to air up the tires, you remove the cap and screw in the stem. Yeah, it's a pain sometimes, but what are you gonna do?
