Default Balancing rear prostars??

Hi I put this thread in the wheels section so far and no replys. I wanted to know the best way to balance my rear 15x10 prostars. I know for a fact I cant run a stickey weight on the inside due to lack of clearance, so what are my options, thanks.

You can run sticky weight on the inside of the wheel. Meaning where the air goes. They spin the wheel and tire, find where it goes, dismount the tire, install the weight and mount the tire. Major pain in the ***, but if you have no room and really want the balanced one of your only options if you can't use clip weights on the lip.

The above response is a great way to do it IMHO if you don't want to use clip-style weights. Make sure they bubble balance them, or use a low impact/speed balancer if they must use a rotating style balancer.

My clearance is very tight on my drag wheels as well. I had them static balance my wheels, and put the weights on the farthest interior (car side) lip of the rim. I have no problems with them.
