You can fit normal valves, don't know what year your fatty is but if it's a later one then the TPMS won't work

Bearmach nuts equal to Genuine ones. Both will eventually rust, swell and not allow a 22mm socket onto them |

its a 2010 3.6 and has old sytle NON tpms tyre valves so use the same nuts with normal valves? (is the hole in the wheel for the valve the same size? |

Don't know if you can get these in the UK, but Gorilla Nuts are quite good.

The extra wheel width should balance with the change of offset - maybe a slight difference, but I doubt it would be visible. |
