Having trouble balancing ZForce wheels
Anyone running the new ZForce wheels on a Grand Sport ? I'm having trouble getting the fronts balanced. The caliper runs so close to the center spoke. Only about 1/8" or less and the stick on weights will not clear. Thought about getting some hub centric 1/4" spacers but not sure if I would have to get longer wheel studs or if that would even work. Any suggestions ?

are the wheels and tires new ?
you can split the weight and hide them behind the spokes. you can also add powder into the wheels (it's done on semis and other large diameter tires) but if the wheel and tire are not round you can do NOTHING.

The Beads in the big rigs are marginal at best.
We ran something a little different, same idea though a outside the tire along the rim tube with the beads inside. You could here them rolling inside the tube when the truck drove by slow.
Seems like truck tires always show wear problems.
