Important: Clip-on wheel balance weights are not suitable for the following wheels sizes. Stick-on adhesive weights must be used.
Model | Engine | Wheel | Tyre Designation |
---|---|---|---|
CR8 / Senator | V8 | 8.0J x 19 alloy | 245/40 ZR19 98Y |
GTS | V8 | 8.0J x 20 alloy | 245/35 ZR20 95Y |
CR8 / Senator | V8 | 9.5J x 19 alloy | 275/35 ZR19 96Y |
GTS | V8 | 9.5J x 20 alloy | 275/30 ZR20 97Y |
Important: When installing adhesive balance weights on flangeless wheels, do not install the weight on the outboard surface of the rim.
Adhesive wheel balance weights may be used on factory aluminium wheels. Perform the following procedure to install adhesive wheel balance weights.
Important: On Type B wheels, any outer balance weights should align with the spokes of the wheel.
Important: To ensure proper adhesion on Type B wheels, locate stick-on balance weights on flat surfaces only.
When balancing, separate adhesive weight planes as much as possible, minimising the weight required to balance the wheel and tyre assembly.
Important: Do not use abrasives to clean any surface of the wheel. The balance weight attachment areas must be free from corrosion, dirt, oil or any other foreign material.
Important: Do not touch the adhesive surface.
Important: Press the wheel balance weights into place with firm hand pressure.
Important: Clip-on wheel balance weights are not suitable for the following wheels sizes. Stick-on adhesive weights must be used.

Caution: Failure to adhere to the following precautions before tire balancing
can result in personal injury or damage to components:
• Clean away any dirt or deposits from the inside of the wheels. • Remove any stones from the tread. • Wear eye protection. • Use coated weights on aluminum wheels.
Important: Tyre and wheel assemblies which exhibit excessive runout can produce vibrations even if the assemblies are balanced.
It is strongly recommended that the tyre and wheel assembly runout be measured and corrected if necessary before the assemblies are balanced.Caution: Refer to Safety Glasses Caution in the Preface section.
Caution: Refer to Vehicle Lifting Caution in the Preface section.
Important: When balancing tyre and wheel assemblies, use a calibrated and well maintained, off-vehicle, two-plane dynamic balancer set to the finest balance mode available.
Important: Note the location of each tyre and wheel assembly in relation to the original position on the vehicle.
Important: The wheel must be mounted on the spin-type wheel balancer in accordance with manufacturers instructions.
• | If an imbalance is found remove and discard all wheel weights from the tyre and wheel assembly and continue the procedure. |
• | If an imbalance is not found. Refer to Strategy Based Diagnosis. |
Important: The correct type of wheel balance weights for the type of wheel rim being balanced must be used. The correct type of coated wheel balance weights for aluminium wheels must be used. Refer to Wheel Weight Usage within this procedure.
Important: The tyre and wheel assembly must be balanced in accordance with the wheel balancer manufacturers instructions.
Important: The tyre and wheel assemblies must be installed in the correct location in relation to the original position on the vehicle.
Important: When balancing factory aluminium wheels with clip-on wheel balance weights, be sure to use special polyester-coated weights. These coated weights reduce the potential for corrosion and damage to aluminium wheels.
Important: A nylon or plastic-tipped hammer must be used when installing coated clip-on wheel balance weights to minimize the possibility of damage to the polyester coating and wheel surface.
When balancing, install the wheel balance weights on the inboard (2) and outboard (1) rim flanges at the positions specified by the wheel balancer.
Important: When installing adhesive balance weights on flangeless wheels, do not install the weight on the outboard surface of the rim.
When balancing, locate the wheel balance weights along the wheel centre-line (1) and the inboard edge (2) of the inner wheel surface at the positions specified by the wheel balancer.
Important: Do not use abrasives to clean any surface of the wheel. The balance weight attachment areas must be free from corrosion, dirt, oil or any other foreign material.
Important: Do not touch the adhesive surface.
Important: Press the wheel balance weights into place with firm hand pressure.
