[quote name='Centurion' date='Sep 18 2005, 01:56 AM']I went to the wheelweights website posted by another forum member and it was suggested that as a general rule of thumb, weight on a wheel/tire combo is equivalent to x2 anywhere else on the car.? For example, if you decrease by 35lbs on all 4 wheels, this is equivalent to decreasing by 70lbs on the body.
