Knocking off inner wheel weights off my 15" wheels with the drop I have any ideas?

[Hazieview]

Well I love the 15" rallies. I got 15x8s up front and 15x10s in the back.

I only have drop spindles up front and I keep knocking off inner wheels weights. Any suggestions? It looks to be hitting on the lower A arm but I really do not want to grind my A arm down.

Thanks!

Sounds like they are indeed hitting the A-arms. You don't have to grind much off of the lip, and it should go pretty quick.

Wheel weights are overrated.

You may want to try those balancing bead things---that you actually put into the tire.

At first i was skeptical, but most people who use them say that they work great. And these are reliable sources.

My guess is you are running 3" drop spindles with those 15x8 wheels. Thats a common problem with that combo. You can grind the A-arm lip or go to a narrower wheel.

have you tried useing the stick on type weights moved as close to the center of the wheel as possible???

I'd go with the stick on weights, I tried the balance power stuff in a couple sets of tires and had horible luck with it. Never again, I'll run unbalanced tires before I use that stuff again.

just trim the arms, its no big deal

Gets my vote! Except keep to the outside of the inner lip. The further out the better.

i run balancing beads in all my trucks ( the ones that go on the road anyway) and i love them your tires are always balanced and they are reusable when your tires are shot they can take them out of the old tire and put them in the new tire. the only negitive thing i have noticed with them is i get a slight vibration anything over about 110 but realistically how often do you get a chance or want to run up that fast?

Well I have the same problem. 2.5 drop spindles and 2" drop springs. Even with 2.5 drop spindles and 15/8's with a 4" BS my inner weights rub off if I turn to sharp. But also my caliper is maybe a 1/4" away from my rim so I would have to go WAY in with the weights if I did that option. So I have started to trim my a-arms but still need to go farther up the a-arm. I cant really see any problem with this as it is a cruiser only, and does not take any real abuse.

Well thanks for the feedback. I just dont like doing any grinding if I dont have to. I'll way all the suggested options.

Thanks again!

It would be stuck on the inner part of the rim and not so much the "lip". Note where it will clear and have them installed there.
