I don't have a Camaro AIM at the house, however according to my 1971, 1973, and 1975 Corvette AIM: If the assembly requires more than 5 oz - the wheel or tire is excessively out of balance and should be rejected.

James is correct and the winner again..... In excess of 5oz is what is called out on both 68 and 69 Camaro AIM's.
