It sounds like the wrong rim and lug nut combination should not have any movement at all once the shoulder of the lug nut is in the rim. Balancing mag wheel stick on wieghts is pretty much what everybody uses. Try just the rim on the spin balancer to see if the problem is there then mount the tire to find out if it is the tire. If both are off then mark the tire and rim and then rotate the tire on the rim to find the spot that will take the least amount of weight. This takes some time if you have access to a tire machine or become good friends with your local tire guys most are motorsports fans and are willing to help and a six pack also helps.
