    I just recently brought 16x8 method NV 305 and had them mounted on my existing tires 265/75/16 bfg KO2! On the stock wheels it ran smooth! Thus far I been to 3 places to get them balanced with better results but vibration still exists at 60mpg! Last place balanced had the road force elite which yield better results but vibration is still present! Any ideas what to do next? Any ideas would be appreciated!

    Thanks JaCado! All though I’ve read about the Ko2 issues for the last 2years they balanced perfectly on the stock wheels!

    Stock... for now
    What style lug nuts are you running? The NVs require a ET l(extended thread) because these wheels are lug centric. I've also read that to properly balance a lug centric wheels you need to mount it to the balancer using the bolt pattern rather than the center bore (the standard way). That last bit of info may be wrong, but I have been doing a fair bit of research.

    Cool stuff
    I have owned many wheels, I agree with the ET lugs, and I would also like to add that not everyone knows how to mount these heavy tires.... the yellow dots on the tires are where the valve stem goes for example.... consider another shop to balance.
