Mounting and balancing?

I plan on getting 2 Nitto DRs (305-45-18) and was wondering what type of weights I should use? Clip-on? Tape-on?

Do I need to do anything else since I'm going to a wider and slightly taller tire?

Thanks

The tape on ones look better, but I'm not sure if they work better or worse than the clip on ones. At least they don't scratch the wheels.

tape weights take a chance of falling off, and they go out of balance quicker. also in colder weather they dont like to stick. but they look better, your wheels should be alloy 2 balanced

Sweet, thanks for the responses. Looks like I'll be going with an Alloy 2 balance with tape-on weights. I really don't want to scrape my wheels and since I'll be running them in warm weather mostly I won't have to worry about them falling off...I hope.

Also, my tbird had tape-on weights and I never had a problem...
