Either buy new OEM rears for like $150 each from tirerack.com or get yourself a brand new set of tires!

The Kumho MX tire does not come in the 245/45R16 which is the size you would want to run if you are doing anything other than the OE S02 tires. It is a very good tire at a good price but really doesn't work for the 16" wheels.
I agree with everyone else. If you are going to do just the rears then match the front S02's.
If I can help let me know.
Thank you
