The reason the valves are installed towards the inside of the axle are because it's always been done that way.
No, really, the big guys (18 wheeler trucks) do it that way so that they can use a spare tire in any position or rotate tires if needed. All of their tires (except maybe the steers?) are the same way.
When getting new tires I had them put shorter valves on the outside tires.
But remember to make sure they change all of the tire valves when getting new tires. I've had it happen twice when getting new tires and had leaks from those. The rubber gasket gets old and brittle and leaks.
