Question:

What size valve stem hole diameter is on this wheel? Also, Id like to put load range E, 80 PSI max tires on this rim. Can the wheel handle it or is the limiting factor more related to the high pressure valve stem? Which valve stem do you recommend? Thank you!

I went and pulled a Dexstar Wheel part # AM20545 from our warehouse to measure the diameter of the valve stem hole and found it to be .453 of an inch in diameter.

For an 80 psi valve stem to fit this you would want part # AM20904. The psi limiting factor of a wheel setup is almost always going to be the valve stem.
