Not your typical MRR Z28 wheel question
So I have a 2018 ZL1. I put new stock size tires and rims on it as the title says. The wheels have the valve stem location right in the middle of the rim, not near the edge as normal. The shortest valve stem hits the stock brake caliper on the fronts. The tire store finally found a motorcycle valve stem that will not hit. But it will not allow the use of my TPMS sensors. The SS isnt a problem because the brakes arent as big. I even had the one MRR recommended overnighted but it is too long and no TPMS mount. So what does everyone use? Trust me I have searched and read everything to find a solution I asked Phastek and MRR is no help. I would love to have this feature restored but mainly its aggravating to dismiss every time I start the car. Thoughts?

I know in the past that when there was a TPMS fitment issue, the sensors would be banded onto the wheel. Not sure if this would work with the Camaro style sensors but it may be an option.

Did you notice the stem location on yours? And your TPMS works correctly? This would be a huge help if so. Im somewhat familiar with your area.

Valve stems are in the middle of the wheel and the TPMS works great.
