1965 corvette tire stems

[Mike M.]

I used 1 3/8 inch tire steps and when I put my original hubcaps on- the tire stems are not long enough to protrude through the hubcap.

i can use 2 inch tire stems but then this is not correct according to judging manual.

suggestions ?

The new JG shows "approximately 2 1/8 inches"
