To avoid rubbing, take some vacuum line or fuel line. Split it and put over the valve stem. Keeps the stem from flexing while going down the road. Has worked great for over 2000 miles.

Metal stems wouldn't work on mine due to the diameter of the nut for the stems. They didn't machine the relief big enough on the rims.

I got metal core stems, but pull in place like a standard valve stem. They don't bolt in place.

I've seen that mod done and it seems to work. Stopping the flex is the key; my sensors would actually leave marks on the wheels with the rubber stems from the back and forth motion. Some folks get away with the rubber stems for a long time, some don't.

I'm reasonably sure I was the one who posted the mod up, with pics. Have around 3000 miles/two years on them so far with no issues.
