My 19" wheel's stems aren't clearing.

I bought 19" vossen cv3, and when I took them in to get mounted the mechanic said that my stems sensors aren't clearing because they hit the calipers in the front. They even tried to put the shortest stems they have which would make the light turn on in my dash. So why is this happening? Are they the wrong offsets or something?

Note: cv3 have the stem inside the wheels instead of on the outside.

I talked to the dealer and they said I needed to use the stems they use for spinner wheels because those are tiny. They sent me a couple for free. I'll repost when I get them on.

So i ended up using these, I had no choice but to go with them if i wanted my wheels on. And the wheels sensors dont fit on these, so i am driving without TPMS sensors in the wheels. A notification pops up but its not too bad, and im planning to get it disabled via STAR.

Used those on my DPEs.

They are cool, but the one of the rubber seals broke down on my first set in 8 month. No biggie though - 15 mins at a tire shop and I was rolling again.
