MRP Wheels on the LMTV

[salvator182]

Howdy,
I put new MRAP wheels on the LMTV but the large bore valve stem does not match the LMTV valve elbow. Anyone heard of an adapter? the schrader minimizer is too small.
Thanks

Did the wheels bolt up without modification? Post pics of the wheel section too.

Interesting as I would have suspected the camian wheel is the only one with the same pattern and hub. It is my understanding the only difference is the run flat not used on the fmtv

Here is the problem in pictures. The elbow threads on the smaller valve with two tiers or threads on the valve.

Maybe you can find some type of adapter at the local plumbing supply house.

Salvator, Can't you just remove the correct hardware from the steel wheel or aluminum to thick to use it? Where did you get the longer lug studs from?

That's what I was trying to avoid. I can pull the valve stems off the old rims but I was just attempting to avoid tearing 8 wheels apart then remounting them.
The larger valve stems came on the wheels when I picked them up from uncle sam.
Thanks
