I'm having my rear tires replaced and the tire shop noticed that the front valve stems are hitting the brake caliper. I'll see it for myself in a few hours when I go to pick up the car.

Can I buy any low profile valve stems, such as but these will eliminate the TPMS.
Also found that have a 90 degree bend, but not sure they'll work with Vossen wheels.

Are there shorty or low profile TPMS valves that I can use?

Thanks.

 

Called Discount Tire and they said they might be able to do a band sensor relocation kit. I've never heard of this before but after a quick google search, it's relocates the sensor around the inside rim, held in place by a literal band.

Do I have any other options?

I called Vossen and they suggested a short valve stem adapter, but the 3 Discount Tires that I called have no idea what I'm talking about.

 

What are you doing for TPMS? I have Vossen HF-1 on My LC. No issues with clearance with my OEM TPMS. I'm finding it hard to understand your issue.

I'll upload a photo tomorrow. The valve stem on the cvt wheels is located not on the outside of the wheel but rather inside, half way between the outer lip and the inner lip. It protrudes outward and the valve is hitting the brake caliper. Link for reference

 

Spoke again with customer service at Vossen and they stated I would need outer mount adapters for the front. At $37 for the set, they're reasonably priced.

After looking at the valves myself, seems that only the valve stem cap made contact with the brake caliper, not the actual metal valve stem tip.

This is the condition of the front valve stems:
