Once the heads are put on the wheels the car gets rolled fwd approx 6" onto the turn plates. This compensates the sensors to the machine. It tells the machine the wheel runout, and sensor location on the rim.. it doesnt matter if the sensors are mounted off center on the wheel.

As soon as mine is running good enough for a longer trip I'm going to have a buddy align mine on his brand new Hunter rack as well.
