Questions
I have an 8.5 mm valve stem hole in my Excel rims. Will this fit well enough to seal properly? Or is the .5 mm gap going to cause issues?
Yes, this might cause water and dirt to get into the rim. I would recommend staying with an 8.5 (or close) stem diameter, such as the one below (available in 8.3mm in silver) :

Do these simply attach to the existing valve on the tires?
No, these replace the existing valve on the wheels. Very easy to install, just remove the old ones and insert new ones and tighten up, no special tools needed, assuming you already have the tire off.
