Tire balancing wheel weights

I'm trying to re-install my OEM wheels back to my 05 TL. I'm kind of confused which wheels go front and rear. I noticed balancing weights are differet for front and rear. What will be my solution to this?

The weights are there to balance the wheels regardless of placement on the car. Unless you have unidirectional tires, it does make a difference. And even then, the front and rears on the same side need to be interchangeable so you can rotate them.

Thats why it pays to label them when you take em off. Now you have to guess which goes where...which sometimes can be easier than others.

Balancing weights are specific to the wheel. Thus, it does not matter where you mount it.

Mount the two with the most tread in the rear.
