Default Beadlocks and TPMS

So I finally received my ccw race classics beadlocks and I was wondering what everyone is doing regarding their tpms sensors it seems like the valve stem will hit the beadlock ring. Any inputs?

I have seen on some aftermarket wheels where you put a rubber valve stem in and then just band the actual sensor on the wheel itself.I dont think anyone makes a sensor with a shorter stem. i have seen some guys use a large industrial hose clamp in some instances

Do what you want.. But mine have been like this for 5 years with no issues when I went to alumastars in front and beadlocks on the rear.

Took all 4 sensors off the wheels and replaced with normal bolt-in style valve stem. Then I built a small pvc tube (2" diameter by about 6-8 inches long) glued cap on one end, put all 4 sensors in the tube along with some padding, drilled hole and installed bolt-in style valve stem on the other cap and then glued it on. Pressurized the whole tube with all 4 sensors inside and put it in the glove box = no issues or lights for 5 years now.
