No problem sir. I didn't think you were bashing us in anyway, but we just wanted to publicly address your concerns in the event that anyone else had similar experiences with an installer. Your lug/stud engagement is completely safe. I believe your balance issue lies with the BFG KO2 tires that...
I also would like to address the questions from CC4R as I have received a couple calls about his post, and I spoke with CC4R at length today to get more details. He did leave out a little bit of info from his first post, which I'll add below followed by comments.

Thank you all for your contributions to this post! I wish I had time to be more active on the forum as I used to be, but the workload has become much more demanding as we've been selling more and more wheels.
I will get better / more photos of the wheels in various...
Hi 555R - I don't seem to have any photos of magnetic grey metallic 4Runners with the 18" BFDs in matte bronze, but I do have some photos of MGM 4Runners with matte bronze 17" Countersteer Type X (for color reference):

Thank you very much MESRunner! I'm glad we were able to get something worked out with you so you didn't have to wait, and thank you again very, very much...
You are very welcome! :)
Good question! We have done silver 3rd Gens, silver 5th Gens and various silver Tacomas with matte bronze, but I don't think I've seen matte bronze on a silver 4th Gen either. I can't seem to find any photos in my archive.
Maybe you can be the first one? And if not...
Excellent question Rebel_2015 . Thank you for asking, and I'm sorry it took us a little longer than usual to reply.
Throughout the years Toyota has used different OE widths and offsets on the 4Runner. For the most part, 1st generation thru 3rd generation 4Runners came equipped with fairly low...

The load index rating will be way too low. The tire likely wouldn't be able to support the weight of the truck as soon as the truck was lowered onto the ground.
Assuming that the tires did somehow support the weight of the truck you'd run into other problems as previously mentioned: ABS...
Hi Jeff!
I'm glad you like the Five Stars! The 17x8.5" Five Stars have been out for a little while now (a little less than a year), but we haven't added them to our website yet. Here are the specs:
FN Wheels Five Star
Diameter: 17"
Width: 8.5"
Offset: -6mm
Backspacing: 4.5"
Load rating: 955KG...
At this time we don't have any plans to do so, but if the demand is there it is definitely something that we can work on. We do offer a 17x8.5" FN Wheels Five Star, and we have a different 17x9" wheel in the works.
