DJK Posted August 24, 2020 Report Share Posted August 24, 2020 (edited) While installing my Milton 476 tire valves I noticed the wheel covers were off center pushing the tire valves sideways. Installed the Milton valves and centered the wheel covers, drove 60 miles round trip to a cruise in, checked next morning, front wheel covers were off center pushing on valve stems???? Have bent the tabs on the wheel covers for better grip, maybe it's the ho red paint I put on the wheels!!!!????

Young Ed Posted August 24, 2020 Report Share Posted August 24, 2020 Do you have the little inserts that go over the valve stems? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg g Posted August 24, 2020 Report Share Posted August 24, 2020 Seems fairly common with full covers, it has been mentioned a few times here, and I have noticed it on a few cars over the years. Perhaps a dab of silicone on three or four tabs to discourage walking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug&Deb Posted August 24, 2020 Report Share Posted August 24, 2020 Radials will cause walking. Try the silicone. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are the wheel cover/valve stem stainless cup inserts.... they prevent wheel cover rotation. There are at least two sizes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
