So I picked up 3 old farmer style rims with the mud terrain tyres on....picked up another tyre online and using a rim I have I took it to the tyre fitting place to be told there valves don’t fit the rims....my question is...the other 3 I have are they running a tube or are they using a bigger valve??

This is what the other wheel valves look like in the rim

The top pic is just showing the wheel and tyre im on about...are you sure it’s a tubeless valve? Iv read these farmer steels should only be ran with a tube??
 
The second photo is a tubeless valve, as mentioned above we cant see the first photo valve, but if you can see the edge of the valve hole it will have a tube, in the second photo you cant as the valve rubber covers it like a grommet.
If you have a tyre pump or compressor its easy to check by letting the air out and you can move the valve in and out, but ensure it does not fall right in the rim.
 
That second pic is one of the 3 wheels I have it might even be the first pic...so all I need todo is buy the bigger valve online and I will be able to run that....I read online that them rims need to be tubed...and that’s what started me off on here. The valve hole in my rim is to big for the standard valves they use in a tyre shop.
 
Could it be that there are 2 different valve hole sizes for rims? What I mean is...could 3 of the 4 be a newer or older rim and actually be a tubeless rim and 1 is a tubed rim?

To use the smaller valve tube with the larger holed rim you need the valve collar's see here................
