Question Okay guys, got a wheel problem

Like my sig says I have 17x10 boyd coddington Magneato Six's. Now, on to the problem. The valve stems for the wheels are located on the inside of the wheel and there isn't enough clearance for me to hook up an air hose to the valve stem. A little detail. The valve stems are flush mount and they require an adapter to fill the tires. When I screw the adapter onto the front wheels I cannot get the airhose on all the way and in turn cannot fill up the tires. The brake rotors are too large and make give me the whole clearance issue. Are there other valve stems that might work or is there something else I can do to get around this problem???

Pull the wheels off everytime they need air.

Can you get a pic of how much clearance you have from the adapter to the rotor?
