if you are running a TPMS, you will need different valve stems

No TPMS in my GT3. I assume that I can install the stems PRIOR to taking the wheels to Discount Tire to install the tires since the wheels are without tires right now??? If so, is there a "torque" spec for them or just "hand-tight", etc.?

Thanks!

With factory GT3 wheels Porsches uses part no #900-265-001-50 which is the part number for rubber valve stems.

Thanks Jason. If I interpret your post correctly you are saying that there is NO metal valve stems available for the non-TT wheels? Just rubber?

I had a feeling I would need to outsource the stems from a non-Porsche parts counter.
