What pickle? Why not contact MAM and get them to straighten things out? I
don't see why they wouldn't provide you with compatible parts to put your
wheels and tubes together. I'm a little confused myself. I don't remember
anything that could be called a "spacer" with my wheels. I just remember
two wheel halves and a tube and everything went together just fine and no
valve extension needed. Maybe I have a different kind of wheel? Did you
opt for the 8.5 upgrade? I have the stock 8.0.

Let me expand on that
If you had a wheel rim with a hole drilled out on an angle ....without
a hole in the spacer.... then that would be for a stright valve tube.
If you had a spacer with a hole in the middle and at the top through the
Rim a straight hole that is, that would be for a 90 deg tube with an
extension.
By the looks of things you have the wrong tubes for your wheels and will
need to drill a hole in your spacer
If it's straight valve you want then you will need the hole for that to
be machined through the rim
Hmmph, I guess either way your in a pickle. Sorry didn't have good news.

ARGH!!!...If this weren't so inconvenient, it would be funny.
Thanks Nancy and Steve for your help.
My tire tubes have a straight 2" stem that comes off at an angle from
the
main plane of the tube. This tube requires the new style wheels.
My wheel spacer has no hole in it. Suggesting a new style wheel.
The wheel ends (the head and bottom of a drum) have holes in
them.......BUT
THE HOLES ARE INSIDE THE RADIUS OF THE SPACER!!!!!! There is no
physical
path from inside the tire to the outside world (which one would need if
they needed to put air in these things).
So the wheels are of mixed breed???? A wheel made with a new spacer
and
old heads???
So its back to MAM I go?

Hi Fred
You are by far not the only one that has asked that question If you
have a hole drilled in the spacer you need a 90 deg valve with an
extension If you have a hole drilled in the wheel rim you need a
straight valve with no extension.

Hi All,
I couldn't find anything about this in the archives - which may mean
that no one else had this question which, in turn, may mean I'm a
moron.....
For a for a moose with the standard JDM wheel rims and tires that
come from
MAM, how do I get the tube stem to the outside of the wheel? Do I
have
