Default Tire valve size?

Hi, I just got a set of the rerpro chrome YJ8 wheels. I bought a set of chrome valve stems for them from Pep Boys and they are too wide to fit in the hole in the wheels. IT looks like the wheels have a step on the outside. Is this for a bolt-on type of stem? I see that Summit Racing has bolt on ones as well as various size pull-through stems. If anyone can point me in the right direction on this it would be much appreciated! Thanks and Happy Independence Day!

Thanks, but I am looking to get chrome ones to match the wheels and the only ones they stock in chrome are the ones I have, the pull through ones for .453" rim holes.

I just measured my rims and the hole is 0.435", just under 7/16". I will call summit racing and see what they say. I think these will fit and look really nice:
