Flush Valve Stem Problems

[Hemi8]

Are there any options for fill valves for flush valve stems? I have Mr. Gasket flush valve stems but cannot fill the tires with air because the fill valve that screws in for checking/adding air is too tall. The fill valves hit the rotor, so I have to remove the wheel to add air. These are Coys wheels which place the fill valve in the worst place possible. I need a 90 degree fill valve but can't find a source. I only have about .35" between the flush valve cap and the caliper so I don't think a regular short valve stem would work. These are 18" Coys over Corvette C5 brakes.

How much clearance do you have to the rotor? Rotate the wheel past the caliper? I know the flush mount caps behind the wheel center can be a pain...

Worst case drill a hole in the front lip and put in a regular valve stem... problem solved.

That was my initial idea, just drill a hole to re-locate it, but the shop I took the wheels to was not equipped to do it properly so I didn't do it. Now I regret not taking somewhere else, now I have to, if I can't find a short screw-in fill valve.

Would something like this possibly work?

I was looking at that type yesterday but I think motorcycle wheels have a diff. size hole for the valve?

I'd contact someone at Forgeline or Rushforth wheels for advice... I'm sure they've addressed this issue before.
