Two of my wheels have a slow leak at the valve stem so I am going to replace them.

Looking online I have found several different diameters of valve stems and before I start the process of tearing down the tires/wheels and cleaning the valve stem holes, I need to know what the standard diameter of the valve stem hole is???

I have attached a photo of my wheel if it will help:

Hole size is 5/8"  for the TR-15 stem. Do not throw away your old rims, they can be repaired by welding and redrilling. Or use JB weld to fill the worn ares and redrill

There are also bushings available to reduce the hole size and protect the tube/valve stem.
