The problem on mine was that Forgeline went with a different inner rim shell manufacturer and the tpms holes were drilled too far out and on the stepped portion of the rim. They did this to try to get me my wheels since it had been almost 3 months since i placed my order. This made is so the bracket that Forgeline installs to have the entire TPMS installed internally would not work. My set up had and additional valve stem protruding thru this hole and was too long to clear the suspension parts.

Discount tire here in town fabbed up a bracket for the tpms and inserted a short rubber valve stem thru the old tpms hole. It would clear the suspension but Discount tire did not like it and said it would cause problems. Which it did.

Bottom line, my wheels are at Forgeline and they are taking care of it. Should have them back middle of the week. NOt a single penny out of my pocket.

Mine are on the outside hoop just like a stock wheel.

So the OP wanted the stem to be hiden...I did not know that was an option.
Wouldn't that be a more difficult to check pressure and air up?

Am I still missing something here?...my Car is lowered as well
