Default Valve stem question

This has to be one of the dumbest questions I've ever asked. Does anyone know what size hole Renegade Wheels puts in their wheels for valve stems? Yes, I've tried to contact them and I've yet to get an answer. I'm going to be replacing the tires and figured it was probably a good idea to replace the valve stems too. They're 8 years old and you can see the rubber is cracking around them in the attachment. What I don't know is what size hole is in the rim therefore I don't know what valve stem to purchase? I can tell you that using a Caliper the stem seems to be at .310 on the treads and the base is about .542 (that's the metal portion, not the rubber part that's squeazed out). Would the hole be about a .453 to .500?

The valve stem hole should be 11.5mm or .453"

Thanks for the response. I finally got a hold of them at Renegade and they told me they use a 0.3125 (5/16) hole. Better yet they offered to sell me a couple cheaper than I could've got them elsewhere, so all worked out good.
