Got my Quadratec HardRock wheels and 37" KO2's mounted and installed. Very happy that I can reused my OEM lugs, OEM locking lugs and even the little plastic that surrounds the camera again. I got these tires for a few good reasons:

1.) I like how they look
2.) They're LIGHT. OEMish weight of 26-28bs. (my Black Rhinos were 41lbs)
3.) They have the perfect amount of size and offset (17x8.5 +12mm) and stick out about ONE inch outside of the fenders.
4.) They don't rub at all
5.) They're cheap. $800 shipped for all 5

BTW: Anyone with 37's ever get told that the tires couldn't be "balanced to zero?" They guy said that a few of the wheels needed almost 300g of weights, which he couldn't do. He said I might get some vibration but that was to be expected with 37's. I dunno how true that is, but I don't feel any vibrations. I have read that the KO2s could be difficult to balance tho.

Not 37's but was told the same when I had my 35's mounted on Fuel Anza wheels. I did have a weird vibration at 70 and above. When I rotated the tires it was worse. Took mine to a facility with the Hunter Road Force balancer and it's better now with the 35's than it was with the factory 33's.

U know I did mention that Road Force Balancer and he told me it wouldn't make a difference. Ill keep that in mind when it gets to rotating them!
I've read that a lot online too, that it wouldn't make a difference. It cost me $20 a tire, but was well worth it. The ride is really smooth now. It was bad enough before that I loved driving it on secondary roads but hated getting on interstates. Now I'm passing everyone. If anyone has a vibration after going to bigger tires I would recommend giving it a shot. From what I've read it even recommends which position to install each tire for the best ride, as well as real accuracy as far as placing weights. I had mine originally mounted at costco and they told me they were having problems balancing one of them and it ended up with so much weight it was the spare. I told the Hunter place to try to rotate in the spare if possible, and after balancing it, it was back at the spare spot.

Cool, thanks. I figured I'd go to the next discount tire and ask them to check it out, and do the Force balance at that point. 37's plus mount was more than enough money with them already! Either way, right now it's still pretty smooth.

This looks good! I'm planning on buying the all black ones. The stock Sport S wheels are doing just fine for now with my 35s but I do get some slight rub when turning full lock at low speeds
