I have a set of wheels that I want to flip to get a lower offset/deeper lip. My only issue is the valve stems. The valve stems are located too close to the lip where the face bolts up to. Has anyone run into this issue? What did you do to get around it?

need better pics.
Some use j/L bend valve stems.
There appears to be a slot in the face for the valve stem.

They already have a J bend stem. The problem is the bolts for the stems are just too close to the mounting point of the face. If the hole was closer to the center of the wheel away from the mounting point it wouldnt be an issue. The face wants to hit the bolts for the valve stem.

Not sure what could be possible without better pics.
Only other idea is to use a straight stem, or use rubber type and have the face push on the stem. Or patch the hole and redrill at a different spot.

this is really the only option if the stem is interfering.
