Default Balancing Torque Thrust II's

How have you guys made out balancing these wheels? Should I put weights on both outer and inner , just inner or use center line stick ons? The center line stick ons might not clear the caliper. I think this topic (TT II's )has been beat to death, so hopefully this will be it.

They were able to balance mine all from the inside. Sometimes if you can't get a wheel to balance, you can rotate the tire 180` then try balancing again :cheers: .

I used stick ons in the center of mine, mine were 16x8 with 4" backspacing, if you have the same they should clear.

Thanks guys, I think I'am going to try the all weight on the inside since the caliper clearance is so close on the center of the rim. As always, this forum is a great tool. I must add there are some nice looking 73 and 74 vettes on this forum , I am partial to 73's.
