Replacing Wheel Weights

I had new tyres fitted a few months ago. I asked them to use adhesive wheel weights as I'm using alloys. They said no problem and it all looked good, untl I noticed they had put the knock on weights on the inside of 3 of the wheels.

Wasn't much of an issue at the time, but it turns out that the weight on one of the front wheels is hitting the control arm when turning corners.

Can I replace this weight with an adhesive one (that's the same weight), if I put it in the same area? Or will I need to get them redone at a garage?

Cheers

You might get away with it But I'd just get them rebalanced to be sure they won't give a vibration.

have you got enough clearance between the inside of the rim and the brake calliper to run stick on weights ? You don't really have enough clearance between the upright and the rim if you are clipping the weight at certain angles/deflection imho, non standard alloys with the wrong ET and spacer set up by the looks of it
