Save the weights and Mark location . Weigh the removed weights and when you rebalance your tires try adding the same amount in the location you removed them from . Just in case you find it needing way more weight than usual .

Remember if you are running early Ford wire wheels you need adapters. They appear to fit without adapters but will probably eventually crack at the lug nut holes. See https://www.fordbarn.com/forum/showt...=1#post1286293
