Thats the exact wheel im fixing to order for my XJ as well. They should be standard size valve stems. When you take them to be mounted and balanced they will have and install the ones you need.

Which will be this...

The ones you bought will work.

Side note, what are stem valves? I know what valve stems are but not stem valves. (just messing)

I usually just let whoever is mounting and balancing my tires supply the valve stems.

This. And they'll take standards. The only rims that predominately take the larger diameter stems are trailer tires, and some commercial applications. And if you need any more, I only have another 6,871,042 sitting at work.

Ive never had any problems with just the standard cheap'os. Ive got some in the tool box but the local shop just charges 20 bucks for 4 tires mount and balance so i see no point in using what i have here when they're basically free there lol.

Damn i dont think anyone around here is that expensive. That shop is like a mom and pop resturant, cheap but stays covered up. Too, if you buy a new set of tires, they always rotate and rebalance for free.
