[QUOTE="Ramrodthrusterpuppy, post: 910276, member: 5125"] ....actually, 37/12.50/17 BFG AT KO2s on "0" offset ProComp 5035 wheels. My truck is on mid-perch, but no hammering, cutting, yadda, yadda. I was very apprehensive, but I got a killer deal on both the KO2s and ProComps, that I couldn't resist. How did it turn out? [ATTACH=full]249092[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]249093[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]249094[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]249095[/ATTACH] I love it! I'm not a huge fan of all black wheels, but they have grown on me.
