If I can get a pix to load I'll shoot one later today and show you what I mean.
Even with two sided heads, the stems can be difficult to reach.

On our rig I put straight extensions on the front to clear the stainless simulators which have smaller holes than the rims do. On the rear wheels I bought a set for the dual wheels with the flexible tubing and mounting clips. Some hold the air pressure of the tire, not recommended because if they loosen they can cause a flat tire.
