valve stem & beadlocks

[lewis]

weld on beadlocks I have heard require a 90* valve stem. Do I need them? I have looked and can't find them anywhere.

I think that depends on your wheel, I never used them with my weld-ons and could get to them just fine.

yep,

If you do need them, any tire shop should be able to get them--maybe even Checker/Autozone type shops, too.

I've used 45 degree and 90 degree stems before, other rims don't require anything special. Depends on the location of the valve stem hole in relation to the inner ring.

thanks!

You can also plug the original hole and drill a new one further inside the wheel, keeping your stock straight valves.

This is what I did with mine but I got new short metal valve stems. Its a little tight on the front axle because of the hub but it works great. I just welded the stock holes up.
