   no iv done big break conversion on the front breaks on vts it now has 4 pot brembos under 15 inch wheels iv just bought some new wheels and two weights are right in line with the front of the brembo which has 2mm clerance from the inside of the wheel which makes the weights catch but if the weights were on the opposite side of the alloy they wouldnt catch can they b on the opposite side and still have correct ballence

   No you can't just unstick them and put them on the other side. Best bet is to get them rebalanced but tell them where you need the weights to go

   How big are the bloody weights?
   
   What brembo's are they?
   
   My brembo's clear my weights by about 2mm, and that's on 15" wheels.

    You can get slim weights because of this.
