To make it easier I'll ask the question first then explained what happened.

I have Vossen CV5 where the air nozzle location is in the middle of the rim. With the TPMS installed the valve stem is hitting on top of my brake calipers. I talked to the tire shop and they told me TPMS valve stems are standard size and nothing they can do. Does anyone have any suggestions or idea how to work around it? It's only hitting about less than 5mm. And please don't tell me to just take off the TPMS.



Story below of what happened.
Yesterday I got new tires and TPMS sensor put on(was running without previously). Drove it home without issue then late at night decided to take it onto the highway. On the highway after accelerating in the tunnel a bit the TPMS light came on in the car and my tire went flat. This morning the tire shop noticed the valve core is completely missing. After they put on new valve stem and test fit on my car they realize valve stem is hitting on top of the calipers so I guess what happened is it eventually broke apart after the repeated hits. So now my car is still at tire shop since I can't drive it with TPMS hitting and they haven't figure out how to solve it.
Oh and I destroyed a brand new MPSS tire that was put on just hours earlier.

 

There are some out there, did a quick google search http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/161063119468?lpid=82I knew there are short ones because my Mazda3 had them, hope that helps.

 

I went around a few tire shops around my area and showed them the picture from your link. And one of the stores recognize them and ordered two. Will get them this afternoon and hopefully it works. Thanks for the suggestion.

 

No Problem, I try to help when I can.

 

Well I brought the two adapters to the store mounting my tires and they suggested I shouldn't use those adapters but instead use metal bands to tie the TPMS to the rims.

 

I think as a last resort, if you Take all your sensors and put them in your spare tire (no need to "mount" them, just deflate the tire & toss them in, reinflate) that will be enough to keep the computer quiet. ? not sure if that works, but maybe??

 

Band type sensors are different, so unless they can guarantee they are going to work I would not even think about it.

 

Ha ha I think that would have make the computer quiet but I want them to actually work.

They said they always had problem with those adapters before so they don't recommend it. I am not a tire expert so I just went with it. I wasn't there when they installed it but it seems like they made it work and I am driving fine with TPMS branded onto the rims and using regular short valve stems.

 

Well that's good then!
