What is the correct valve stem size for the 600-16 inner tubes for my 47 sedan?
I just bought the only tubes Summit Racing sells and the valve stems were TR13 size, too little for the hole in my rims. I've bought tubes with the correct size years ago but forget the size.

Also, where else can I look for them?

I think I found the first answer.
Is it TR 15?

Still trying to find them.

Woah!
Don't buy from AzTireWarehouse. Shipping was $134.00 for 4 inner tubes!!

I found them other places. Bought them on ebay.

Another positive aspect of "Old Henry". Not only does he take entertaining trips, but he solves his own problems.

Last tubes I got from Coker had some plastic bushings to make up for the size difference.
Not ideal, but worked

I was thinking bushings also.

Or you could use O-rings.
