I just got used 33s mounted on some 15x8 rirms and they have no outter lip on the rim for wieghts. I took them into my shop class and tried to balance them and I just used stickey weights all on the inside a good 7oz of it. Everythings fine on side streets but free way I get a wobble at 55ish. Should I bring them back it and do a crimp weight on the back side on the rim and stickeys on the inside?
they make beads that you pour into your tires that is supposed to work well. there is no risk of pulling them off on the trail, either. idk any one who uses them personally, but ive read reviews that give em the thumbs up

holy crap no way should it need that much weight
try again, i'm guessing you didn't quite get it balanced right

My rims have at least 50% of the edge missing due to rocks. I run balancing beads. 6 ounces in each tire. The tires are 32" TSL Super Swamper Radials. I love the balancing beads. Been running them for 3 years now. No wobble, no worry if a tire spins on the wheel, no taking the wheels off to balance them.
Yes, you hear the beads under 20mph. Yes, 95% of tire shops no nothing about them. I have these http://www.innovativebalancing.com/?...FaNl7AodPhqPrA . Will buy them again when these tires need replacing.

i've been running 13oz of copper bb's in my 33 inch trxus on steel 15x8's for about 8 years now.
they work alright. still a slight wobble at about 85kph, but i don't think it's the wheels.
i was ready to run 6-8 golf ***** in my 36 inch iroks, but ended up not needing anything.
mix bb's with a couple oz of anti-freeze.
