I recently purchased some Raceline Assault wheels for my 2018 3500. After I got them installed and left the tire shop my pressure started dropping. Apparently they come with two valve stem holes. The TPMS sensors were mounted to the inside hole while a regular valve stem was mounted to the outer. The issue is that the TPMS stems are too long and hit the brake calipers which causes them to get destroyed. According to the tire place they have to go on the inside hole and cannot go on the outside hole. Anyone have experience with this? I was thinking I could just move the TPMS to the outside hole and plug the inside hole. Tire shop says will not work. Anyone know if I can??

Someone else had your exact issue with a set of wheels. I don't know if he ended up posting what he did. I don't see how the tpms being on the inside of the wheel would effect how it works. Unless it can't be seated properly. I'm not sure if you can replace the valve stem on the sensors with a shorter one. In they can be moved to the outer edge I'd find the shortest valve stem to install in the inner hole

I would find a different shop. Inside can have a HP short stem installed and keep sensors to the outside.
