Your tractor is more stable with caste iron centers of wheel dished out and slid out to the end of axle and with wheel weights mounted on the outside of wheels. Any other way will bring center of gravity closer to center of tractor, loosing stability. Mounting weights on inside of wheel doesn't seem like much difference but take a 15 pound sledge hammer and hold it next to your body and then hold it with your arm fully exstended outwards. It is alot harder to hold up with arms extended outwards. Same thing apply's when adding weight to the axle. It is alot harder to raise that 100 lb wheel weight at the end of the axle than it is right up close to the tractor. That is what gives you stability. If you are looking for stability I would mount both wheel weights to the outside of wheel.
