I put 315/70 KO2s on the stock Sport wheels. I really like the look, but the shop that did the install claimed they had trouble balancing a few of the wheels because they were too narrow. They encouraged me to go to 8.5” or wider wheels soon. I’ve read plenty of posts of folks running 315/70s on 7.5” with no problems, though, so I’m going to stick with em for a bit. Adding the 1.5” front and .75” rear spacer lift next week.

im guessing it’s BS what they told you but your could try balancing beads if your really worried about it. I have no experience with them but I know a lot of guys who use them in Harley tires. Just an option or idea for you.

Stock wheels? They sucked balls..same with the crap tires. Both had to go, along with shocks, bumper and other items..

Here you go

Hey there just wanted to verify that these are 285/70 17's, correct? You didn't lift your truck or modify? No rubbing anywhere? Thanks for the pics!

How did I miss this thread??? This is basically what I was wondering, folks running larger tires on the stock Sport S narrower wheel. I like the Rubi wheels but have no problem keeping what I have. In Minnesota the rock salt trashes wheels so I’d never spend extra money on the ones used during winter months.

I REALLY like the satin black treatment on those wheels on that truck. Good look.

@Fireman 848 how difficult was this to do? Will the paint chip? Excuse my ignorance, but I REALLY like that look and your setup is exactly what Im after.
