hmmmmm

So that's how they do it on the other side of the hill...
On this side of the hill, the valve stem is on the outside, so ya don't hafta crawl around in the mud ta find it...

That's just freaky... must be Eastside custom, huh ?

I'm guessing a reverse offset rim (probably cut and welded in a farmers shop).
best guess is that he constantly ripped off the stems in the field, and this protects them better.

that there is the latest performance mod..ya see with the valve stem sticking out it causes more drag while driving..that there is one smart driver..someone should get a toliet seat spray paint it gold, hang it up on the wall and put his picture in the middle

Just a little FYI for all of you.
That is very common on implement rims.
Especially steer tires on narrow front tractors.
Because the front tire tends to "lean" into right hand turns. They put the valve stem on the inside of the rim so it doesn't drag in the dirt going across furrows and such.

Hay racks, flat racks, Manure spreaders, chisel plows, ect....
Lots of them use inner facing valve stems holes. Just for the protection factor.

BTW: it is kinda funny to see it on a truck though

I bet you've got a tube in there too!!! Looks like there's a stem liner on that hole.
