In my experience yes it’s normal. Stick ons aren’t as heavy as the clip ons and sometimes they need to stack them. It’s not a big deal imo. With bigger wheels especially, no matter how they try to offset the differences by spinning the tires on the rims, there will be stacked weights. Here’s my 22’s, done by a shop that knows their shit. They just need to make sure they’re installed good.
They pretty much have to stack stick-ons because the machine says to place a certain amount of weight at the “x” , not place a certain amount spread out over a large area. And I forgot about the fact that you need more weight towards the center of a wheel than the outside where clip-ons are mounted, due to physics. Just keep an eye to make sure none fall off.
Agreed 100%. That’s why I was saying earlier that there’s a few things to take into consideration when balancing wheels and deciding how to do it/ what type of weights to use. As the wheel gets to be a big percentage of the whole package like you said or if the inner lip is much bigger than the outer lip, it can get tricky. Also if the tire is super hard to even get on in the first place, you don’t want even the best shop to be pulling it off and rotating it so they’d better get it right the first time. That’s why I was nervous having tires mounted on my 26” billets and did a lot of searching to find the right shop. I had the rear wheels built with a 3” backspace so the lips are 9” which means the weights are closer to the inside of the hoops. Add to that the fact that in order to get the look I wanted I had them mount 295/30/26 tires on 12” wide wheels and stretch them, and you get a hard to balance wheel. They are perfect though, but only had it up to 90 so far.
