Telstars, Bigs & Littles, w/ tires

Post by SonicVenum »

I thought I'd give you local blokes a crack at these before I polish them up and put them up for sale elsewhere at a higher price.

I've got a full set of 4 Centerline Telstar wheels. The fronts are 15 x 4 and wrapped with 165 tires with plenty of tread left. The rears are 15 x 8 and wrapped with Mickey Thompson DRs in 275/50-15. The MTs have about 500 miles and one burnout on them. The car sat for a while, so the tires show tiny cracks on the tread, but they're still plenty sticky. One of the shoulders shows some rubbing thanks to my worn out, 20-year-old rear springs. I'm not sure what the backspacing is at the moment, but I know I had to have the fenders rolled on my Notch to make 275s fit without rubbing. I believe SN-95 and up won't have that issue because the axles are shorter. I will not be including lug nuts, but the center caps are included. The package also includes a pair of Nitto DRs in 275/50-15. These have less than 500 miles on them, but the shoulders show some scrapes from rubbing before I had the fenders rolled.

The whole package can be had for $600 by any of you on this forum. I'll even deliver them, if you're close enough, or meet you part way if you're not.

I polished them up a bit. They'll still need more elbow grease to be perfect, but I'm not asking a "perfect" price for them. I also put them up a couple other places for significantly more, but the price I posted here still stands for LASG members only.

Refresh my memory. What did it take to get those to fit up front over the big brakes on a Terminator? :think:

I never had these mounted on the Termi, but a 1" spacer should do it. I ran longer studs and a solid aluminum spacer, but the easier way would be to use a bolt-on spacer.

Hmmm. Yeah, I remember RaxerX had a nice set on his Mach1 and back in the day it took some doing to get them on, but I had forgotten what all was involved.

I've already modded the rear to just be able to clear 15's out back.

:think:

Also, those can use the stock style lug nuts, correct? The last Weld's I got from Machy had that Steel insert sandwiched in the Aluminum, requiring those specific lug nuts that were a royal pain in the ass and about got me kicked out of LACR every time I went.

There might be stuff you could do to make the front clear with a smaller spacer, but I didn't bother. If you already did the rears, you might be able to make it work.

Yes, the lugs are stock style, which is why I kept them.

It is too bad that the front skinnies bounced out of your truck and were destroyed and lost somewhere on the LA freeways. I bet the buyer will be disappointed.....

Too bad. I bet those rears would bolt right up on the Coyote with the standard brake kit. Probably be worth almost a tenth with the skinnies and all on that new 5.0 and look pretty damn good at the same time as well.


I guess now we will never know. :whistle:
