Matco Wheel reversal for TR-87 valve stem

Interested if anyone has "reversed" the Matco wheel halves to accommodate the (shorter) TR-87 valve stem. My RV12 is using the Matco MHE51B wheel with a tube. I spoke with a tech rep at Matco who stated that the wheel halves could be reversed without any issues. Apparently this configuration is used when NOT using a tube.

As always, I like to get other opinions / input. See the attached "Vans" installation method compared to the "reversed" installation method.

Comments welcome.

Thanks
