After some roaming around trying to get answers, I was referred to Borg Equipment (shows up on the interweb as http://yourtireshopsupply.com/), where I was able to get long valve stems bent specifically to fit my year of Sprinter.

Rear simulators there is no relief for the stem. Yet there is a relief on the fronts. I guess I'll have to cut the reliefs myself.
