backwards valve stems

[BairleaFarm 340]

Why are my front and rear valve stems on the inside on my C160? Seems weird but it looks like the tires would fit funny if I flipped them.

Yep, valve stems are on the inside of all mine too.

I've always thought it was because the stems are more "protected" on the inside of the rim, less likely to tear them off.

Yup, I like the last answer. Burly B)

If you ever add wheel weights, you'll be happy they are on the inside so you can check the air.

And yes, they are more protected from tree branches, etc.

i agree with eldon. also if you every add duel wheel. you will be happy one tire with valve stems on the inside, another tire with valve stems on the outside.

Adding hubcaps is another reason.....

Wheel covers? Wheel discs? Beauty platters? Lug nut masks? B)

I flipped the fronts around today. It puts them just a little bit closer together I think but it looks good.
