The stem barely fits through the hole. It's very snug. I have to push down and wiggle around to get it through.

I can't measure right now, but my old el cheapo rubbery liner that I replaced said 15mm. I'm not sure I trust that, though. The Zefas rim tape I put on is 13mm, and it even climbs the sides a little bit. Prior to that I had a 16mm rim strip and it completely prevented the tire beats from sitting in place properly.
I'm still trying to digest FBinNY's post, not sure I understand the why's yet.
