Re: Pic Request: Rally wheels on a dropped truck
 

I can't say for sure. They were in Speedway boxes and had China stickers on them. I would suspect that most tire store chains, auto parts stores and mail order companies that sell these get them from the same overseas manufacturer unless you are buying from one of the big brand name manufacturers directly (and I understand that even some of them are outsourcing much of their production these days). These were well packaged and even had a fabric cover over the face so they wouldn't get scratched. Like most of us, I would rather buy USA made but I'm not rich so I have to buy the best I can according to my build budget. For the price and the quality I can peel off the China stickers.

Re: Pic Request: Rally wheels on a dropped truck
 

Hey guys Love the Ralleys.
I have an ECE lowering kit on my truck consisting of 2.5 spindle and a 2 inch drop spring in the front. However when reinstalling the front wheel i noticed the rim hits on the backside of the lower control arm! I didn't see any posts addressing this problem with any of the posts on this thread. i did see other posts saying they used an even lower drop than mine. did people change there lower arms?

Re: Pic Request: Rally wheels on a dropped truck
 

Not me, I have the same ECE front setup and 8" rally wheels. No metal touching metal with the rim. Don't have an idea, sorry.

Re: Pic Request: Rally wheels on a dropped truck
 

HAHA your the reason i used ECE. Seen your thread on your truck..good to see you still have it:metal:

You have to notch the lip of the LCA.

Re: Pic Request: Rally wheels on a dropped truck
 

I couldn’t find pics, but basically where your wheel is rubbing your lca when you turn, it will leave a mark. That’s where you know you have to notch the curled lip of the lca. It shouldn’t be a lot at all that you would have to notch.

Hope this helps.

Re: Pic Request: Rally wheels on a dropped truck
 

so notch it like a side ways triangle?
When i was imagining the wheel turning more and more cutting into the arm that it would be one hell of a notch. I felt that grinding it that much compromise the structures integrity.
I would like to see a picture for reference of how much you had to take out.
I'm not going to tell you that it bad or anything, just curious that maybe its not that much material that i have to remove.
If you cant post a picture that ok maybe a general guess 1/2 inch cut?
I appreciate and look forward to your comment.

EDIT i just re read your comment if its just curled lip...I can do that
Thank you

Grind the LCA or use a 1/4” spacer.

Re: Pic Request: Rally wheels on a dropped truck
 

First off, I might have missed it but how wide are your front rally wheels? 8” or 6.5”? Wider? I know if it’s 8” the grinding is minimal. And trust me, the amount of grinding you have to do won’t compromise the structural integrity of the lca.

BTW, I have a bagged c3500 diesel dually. You should google image the size of notch needed for bag clearance to the frame!

Re: Pic Request: Rally wheels on a dropped truck
 

Its an 8" rim. out comes my grinder...Thx
I was told i cant use a spacer, not enough stud for the nut to tighten the wheel on properly...

Re: Pic Request: Rally wheels on a dropped truck
 

Good luck. Let us know how it goes.

Re: Pic Request: Rally wheels on a dropped truck
 

My 69&71

Rears are 15x12 on Black 69
And 15x10 on Blue 71

Re: Pic Request: Rally wheels on a dropped truck
 

Nice truck. I need to find me a set of the original 72 truck rally's

Re: Pic Request: Rally wheels on a dropped truck
 

yup i needed to grind a little on the backside an a fair amount on the front side of the lower control arm. I may still need 1/4 inch spacer, i can live with that. thanks for the help guys

I know this is an old tread but was wondering if you can share the brand of tires you are running. Thanks in advance.
