Borg Valve stems touching wheel simulators

I had my Borg valve stems installed yesterday, but they could not fit the wheel covers on them. I can bend them and get them in, but the outside valve stem would be contacting the cover. Is this a problem?

  • Here's a picture showing the notches I filed in the wheel simulators to allow the solid metal stems to pass through when removing/installing the simulators. I also remove the air through valve caps for clearance.

  • I took a dremel tool and opened up the half moon on the wheel simulators to ensure there would be no interference
  • I noticed in the instructions for the Tire Man extenders to have them touch anything is a no no.
