Pro Comps and KO2’s

[firedude]

I am on my 4th set of KO2’s. I did have a out of round tire in one new set that blanced but still vibrated. Discount replaced it. All was good from there.

Very interesting.
they balance but still vibrate.
precisely the problem I’m having.
now had them to 5 different shops.
they balance great but still shake.
I’m at my wits end.

Get the rings if you haven't already. That will eliminate any slop in the wheel/hub mounting. Anything that's used on the road at highway speeds should be hub centric mounted imo. Good luck in getting it resolved.

Thank you. I’m going to attempt to return the wheels to the vendor.
hopefully they’re kind enough to accept them.

Two, no three issues here.

Always buy hub centric wheels. Do those particular ProComps have 10 lug holes for a “universal fit”? Those wheels are always problematic, for a variety of reasons.

Load Range E tires are heavy and some wont balance easy. I had this issue with load range E BFGs on previous trucks I’ve had. The load range C 315s on my F150 are perfectly smooth.

Discount Tire uses balance machines that are calibrated for speed not complete accuracy. This comes directly from a guy who once worked for Hunter, the company whi supplies and calibrates their mounting and balancing equipment.

These particular pro comp wheels have only 5 lug holes. (Non universal fit)
But are NOT hub centric. However I believe the centre bores are large to accommodate many size hubs that have the same bolt pattern.. making them “lug centric”.
As stated earlier- I’ve had them to 5 different shops now. Each more confident that they can “get em good” than the last and still the problem persists.
I run K02s on my chev truck and have been very happy with them as well.
yes- the 10 ply are stiff, and a bitof noise. Totally made peace with that.

Put the BFGs on your factory wheels and return the ProComps. Your OEM wheels are much higher quality. Or get a set of Black Rhino (made by TSW) or Method wheels. Both offer hubcentric designs made specifically for Jeeps. There are other brand that offer them as well, like AEV, you just have to look for them. Cheaper wheels will have a lower quality finish, more porosity in the alloy and won't be well balanced from the factory. The busier the design and having a lot of fake bolts, adds to the probability of a balance issue.

Guess I get to go wheel shopping again ?
This weekends project will be trying the K02s on factory rims.
thanks for the input.
the pro comps are the ones on my profile pic. Really love the look of these- and hope I can find something hub centric that look similar.

This is pretty close, but it has different shaped holes in the center
