Valve stems are valve stems, and any tire shop will have the correct ones for your steel wheel.  You want them long enough to protrude through the wheel cover so you can check and fill the tire easily. The shop should ensure of that as normal practice.

Subject: Proper Tire valve stems?

Hello List,

I'm about to get all new tires mounted. I know these are LT tires and are rated @65psi. When replacing the valve stems is there any that "NEED" to be used because of the higher PSI.

I dont want a leaky tire with these​. I have the 14" steel wheels. Also I think the current stems are too short. Should they be 2" valve stems?

What says you?

Thanks,
T.
