flex to end all flexing
sweet, do yourself a big favor and remove those nail on weights asap. my dads first alcoas got really bad from the weights, i rebalanced them with stick ons, be very careful to use low pro stick ons or they will hit the caliper

I do essentially the same thing at work when we do tires. I dont know if you want to do it on a passenger tire, but it works wonders on truck tires, like 11r's or some 275/70/22.5's. Its just 10 grams of sand.

i gotta agree with Shane on this one. ive stuffed my 33x12.50's more than that when i flex mine. that seed60 guy or whatever his name is has a pic of his truck with his back tire like a foot off the ground. sorry man but u can do waaay better, i would but i dont wanna tear my fiberglass bedside to ****

lol i was spinning all the tires trying to get it higher, as far as flexing goes, the truck won't flex any more, i could get that one tire higher, of course

you can't put all the weights on the back side, as the tires are balanced on 2 axis... the machine will tell you where to put the weights, how much on the inside, and how much on the outside...
i was thinking about it, as far as putting the sticky weights on the inner side of the rim, making sure to get the right ones so they don't hit the caliper, who cares if it takes the finish off on the inside?
