What is Valve Stem Hole Size of Aluminum Phoenix Trailer Wheel # LH88VR  

Updated 01/21/2026 | Published 01/20/2026

Question:

What is the valve stem hole diameter on this wheel? I’m looking to use with Ford Trailer TPMS sensors that are only compatible on wheels with 0.452 in 11.48mm diameter valve stem hole.

Hey Charles, the hole for the valve stem on the Aluminum Phoenix Trailer Wheel # LH88VR is 0.625". This is going to be the case for any wheel that is over 15". 8"-15" wheels use the 0.453" holes and wheels over 15" use the 0.625" holes.

I am not sure if you are open to a different TPMS system that is compatible but we have the Tuson Towable Tire Pressure Monitoring System # 335TPMS4WIVS which works with both the 0.453" or 0.625" diameter valve stem holes.

Hi Charles, these 17.5 wheels have the larger commercial size valve stem holes due to the higher pressure and carrying capacity. The snap in TPMS valve stems that most vehicle manufacturers use don’t carry the pressure rating required. You can look into having the sensors banded onto the wheels though, we used to do that in my tire shop days.
