Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone has had any issue with the wheels weights slightly catching your front disc caliper? 10" wheels with the 7.5" discs. Is there an easy fix for this? It's happened before to me but I switched the wheels around and they were fine then.

What weights are they? If stick- on ones, there are or were 2 thicknesses. I used the thin ones.
I run 10x5 Contessas, with 1 row of weights near the middle. I find this gives better balance than playing about with both inner and outer weights. My local tyre man put me onto this. It works for me.

Yeah maybe mine are the thicker type. These are on my new 6x10 minators I got from Minisport SA who balanced them. I might need to take them to my local tyre shop and get them rebalanced with thin weights

Use a better wheel guy. By spinning the tyre around on the rim your guy should be able to reduce the weights to a minimum. Also tell him where you want the weight to go, They can put the weight closer to the inside edge and you should be good.
