    The hole is no different than any other hole.

    Should a 3/8th valve stem with a short body, any auto place will have them.

    It's a standard car rim, valve stems are literally all the same except for length and if it's a high pressure or not.

    3/8th is smaller than 1/2 and they don't make any other sizes between those 2 numbers. Or you could say .453 if you wanna get techincal.

    See how it's got that lip, you pull it past that so it seals it off.

    Buy some rubber ones and be on your way, stop over thinking this.

    Those metal valve stems are garbage anyway.

    Stop over thinking? Dude I'm looking for help, haha every thing your saying iv tried. But now you see what I mean a 3/8 will not fit there too big the hole in the rim is too small and it has a funny lip on the outside of it, and I really don't want to drill a bigger hole. Dose any one no if there is a replacement for this? and iv tried O-rings were that rubber sits but the wall is too tall.
