I recently changed from 1935 16" wheels to the correct 19" wheels with new tires on my 31 coupe. I occasionally get some front wheel wobble when I hit a bump in the road. I am going to check to make sure all the steering and suspension is tight. I have hydraulic brakes (came with the car when I bought it and I didn't know any different then) so I have 40's backing plates and the adapters for the wheels. I am also going to check the toe in and balance the wheels.

When you balance your wheels, do you use the adhesive weights or the hammer on weights? Also do you put the weights on the outside of the wheel or the inside? Thanks for any help you can give me.
