19.5 rim valve stem hole diameter, .453 or .625?

Sorry for asking so many questions, but trying to be prepared when I buy new tires next week. From a previous post of mine, everyone recommended to not use valve stem extenders. So now I'm on the hunt for long solid valve stems and there seem to be two popular valve stem mounting holes, .453 and .625.

Which is the norm for a 19.5 , 6 lug, rim?

And no, the tire dealer doesn't have these kind of stems in stock. Just the short straight type.

    well if the short straight type are the right ones for your rim measure the base of that one. its either .453 or .625
    my guess would be .625
  • NAPA had mine in stock and they were .625. You may also want to check at any medium truck service facility.
