Obviously this leaves the tyre which could be out of balance, but less weight required to balance just the trye, rather than wheel, foam and tyre.
Mark the wheel and foam and ensure that when you put it all together the marks line up.
Yup, everyone when gluing tires should do this. I would still recommend to balance you tires afterwards. But doing this does 90% of the balancing. And then requires less weight from balancing puddy to put on afterwards.
