| Tired weight recommendations
Anybody got an idea on a maximum recommended weight per wheel? I'm trying to offset the weight of my battery and that comes to roughly an ounce per wheel, is that too heavy per axle? Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk |

Generally speaking you don't want the weight to be rotating, lead weights on the inside of the wheel for example, as this rotating mass puts a ton of extra strain on the driveline components. Solid weight, such as brass knuckles, are a preferred option. In terms of how much weight is too much, that really just depends on your truck and how much you need to compensate for a high center of gravity. There's only so much you can do before you simply run out of room or placement options.

Tired weight for a tired question. What vehicle are you talking about? |

They help. Stamped steel wheels, such as SSD D-Hole are a hair heavier. I’d try those and go from there. | |
