planning to go on a rolling road, but current wheels arent the greatest offset so wobble a bit at about 40-50 on the road.

anyone know if it will be a problem on the rollers?

for the day?

I think driving wobble free on the road should be your aim

Just get them balanced, or your tacking sorted out if its pulling to the side of the rollers.

im sure it will be fine, as said i reckon tramlining is the issue

swap them back to front, and it will rule out balancing/buckled etc

Assuming same oddset/width wheels/tyres are fitted

don't fuck about and get it sorted. will only cost a few quid if it only needs balancing.
