I guess I should have waited a little longer didn't know there was more than 1 picture, wheel weights will have to be moved on the rim to towards wheels hub mounting area backside or moved onto the the inside outer flange they will not work where they are now. Boy thats alot of weight on that wheel, if your friends with a tire man have him break that wheel tire combo down and spin wheel on balancer without tire find the heavy spot on rim and take a grinder to inside area of rim where air is when tire is mounted amd grind a thin layer off until wheel requires far less weight, if original tire installer didn't know what they were doing they may have installed heavy spot on tire in relation to the heavy spot on rim so you may be able to break tire down rotate it on rim 180 degrees and reinflate it so that your not that much in wheel weights, in my book anything over 1 to 2 ounces in lead required to balance a wheel is to much and only requires a little time to correct by grinding to lighten wheel on heavy side or rotating tire on rim that much weight is unreal to balance one looks like you have 6-8 ounces of lead on it at a 1/4 ounce per lead weight.
