Have a picture of the wheel and stem combo?

You might swap out the stems for some TR412 ones. They are shorter and make for more room. My PL wheels had the common 413 ones and Id have to flex the stem out to add air.

Navarro wheels have lots of webbing compared to a pl wheel.
I made an attachment using an angle extension. I then got a inflater valve that is 1/8ips on the other end. The adaptor piece I got from my work it is a coupling that is 1/4"ips to 1/8"ips.

The adaptor...

This way I can use this extension on a standard floor pump, hand bike pump or compressor air chuck if I'm away from my compressor.
