I just bought a set of Douglas Shamrock Billet front 4-1 wheels, im curious to those who use these what kind of valve stems do you use, i have the short valve stems and they hit the caliper, any help or advice would be appreciated

oh yah im a dummy, i put the wheel on backwards, lol...some people must not know what shamrock wheels look like, there is no place for a valve stem on the outside of the wheel so it has to go on the inside of the wheel, come to find out its a defective wheel where at douglas they have drilled the holes for the stem a little to far out from the center causing it to hit the caliper, if they would have drilled it a 1/4 of inch over it would have cleared them, its alright, sendin them back
