Got brand new GB 10x6 wheels with yoko A008 tyres. I've fitted the 7.5 conversion kit snd when I fitted the front wheels the weights catch the caliper.
The weights are stuck on the inside of the rim obviously inline with the caliper.
If I go to a tyre shop and explain the weights would need moving more inwards is this something that can be easily sorted?

Yes, they just need to use a different way of balancing the wheels. Will involve weights towards the inner and outer edges.

Been to tyre shop. They have a machine and can set the machine so it uses a single weight, in the centre lone of the wheel as opposed to one weight inside and another on the outside

Any decent balancer machine you set where the weights go, ie inner or outer edge of the rear well of the wheel to avoid the caliper.

Done many a 10” wheel that way.
