Default Valve Stems?

I need help finding a valve stems for my 18x12 rims with a flat lip. Running 6p baer brakes and the stems im using hit the caliper. Is there a smaller one im needing to use with this set up?

Thanks for your Help!

Whick one do you have know? Do you have 3 piece wheels where the valve stems comes thru one of the bolt holes? They make a vlave stems that's flat that sits behind the center of the wheel and sits nearly flush with the inside lip.

Scroll half down the page and see what I'm talking about.

Default flush mount

i got my flush mount values from DSE. Do not forget to get the stem that mounts in the valve to put air in! Not that I did that when I first picked them up!
