WHEEL BALANCING

The fronts can be done by any place that does car wheels ......ours are very close to a Honda wheel.....No adaptor necessary....The rear is the problem ......RIM width & hole Diameter...............However I didn't balance my last 3 rear wheels and have not had any issues.....No Vibes, No difference in wear......good luck......mike :thumbup:

Are we talking front or rear wheels. There is a big difference.

For the rear wheel the center shaft is too big to fit the center wheel hole on some machines. You have to try it to find out.
The front wheels will fit the center shaft on most balancers. The problem is hub diameter on the Spyder wheel is too small to fit on the machined surface of the balancers hub. Adapter plate for the balancer is required. The shop will have one or not. You will just have to let them try.

My Snap On balancer will not do a rear wheel unless the hub is unbolted from it.

I can do the front tires, however the adapters for the cars are just slightly too large, so I use an adapter designed for something else and it works fine.

Not sure about the Honda wheels being the same, my wifes old Civic I could balance.

Also, with my machine it has a fine setting for the dynamic balance and allows me to dial in to less than 0.1 oz.

I accomplish dynamic balance with weights on the inside and outside edge as opposed to a static balance with all the weights on the wheels centerline.

Use RIDE ON and you won't need to balance at all!

haven't touched the rear wheel yet but the front wheels are not a problem, same as any other wheel 3 lug or otherwise.
