the tsl's are slightly taller than the rox lox if you have a narrow wheel. They are just a little wider so when you put them on a narrow rim they squish up a bit.

Wheel weights put stress on the drive line and can make axle shafts break.

they also become a rotating mass that will slow wheel speed and hurt drag brakes. You would be better to add the weight to the inside of the axle tubes etc. you could also mold some lead into "scale" accessories that could be used as weights.

For the tractor pull section, use suitcase weights hung on the front bumper... heck that should count as a scale accessory.
