Like this?


Same truck about 1999 i think. They are pacer knockoffs, not actually welds. The only real difference is the lug nuts are recessed in the center instead of exposed like the welds. That an they were about half the price!

Re: Got my Leroy's! (TTII's)

Picked up a set of rallies for it this past weekend.


Ive always wanted a set, gotta clean them up an get new tires but I'll have them to swap out when i want to change up the look. Just have to figure out tire sizes...

Re: Got my Leroy's! (TTII's)

If they are 8's, I say 245/60 front and 255/70 rear.

Re: Got my Leroy's! (TTII's)

Since you are thinking Rallys ,and our trucks had the same basic stance,here is the same truck with 15x8's and 255/60 front and 275/60 rears.This will give you an idea of what that size will look like on your truck.

My new Rallys I picked up from Jegs, fronts are 15x8, 4"BS and 245/60/15's, rears are 15x10, 5"BS and 295/50/15's.

They are all 8", that's what i was told anyway. I only checked two of them since i was short on time. One is almost full of water even though the bead looks to still be set. I hope its not an issue with the rim. I was looking at 255/70 already an thinking it might be to tall for the front. Ill check out the 245 too.

Cool, thanks! I have the 275/60 left from my 5 stars so i may grab some 255's for the front then. This wont be anytime soon since they arent needed. They were just on craigslist for trade an i had what he was looking for so it was a no money deal for the set. Hard to pass up imo.

Those 295 are wide. I wonder if they would be to wide for an 8" rim?

Re: Got my Leroy's! (TTII's)

295/50 are definitely too wide for an 8" rim. My '74 had the 245/60 front and 255/70 rear on 15x8.5 slots, and they fit pretty well with the 6/8 drop. Seems like the wheels had 4.5" BS. You will need to trim the lips of lower control arms on the front to jive with the 15" wheels, but that's not a big issue.

Re: Got my Leroy's! (TTII's)

Loved that truck on the slots! The only thing it needed was white in the middle IMO. I'm a sucker for the two tone though...

It is, frank sold it an the buyer wanted the rallies which is the reason i was able to get the torque thrusts if i remember right. Frank has had some killer trucks though so i could be wrong.

Re: Got my Leroy's! (TTII's)

Got some tailgate trim an got the rear bumper mounted. Heading for new hardware for the license plate box and a hardware set for the plate in a few. Got insurance back on it earlier this month an paid three years worth of taxes (I won't start on that rant here) an got a tag last week. Hope to get it aligned after I get back from vacation next week an then put some miles on it for a bit hopefully trouble free!
