Can you drill and tap the wheel for 10-32 and not use any nuts, and nothing poking out the back?

I removed some clips from original wheels recently to have everything powder coated nicely, plan to reattach with 10-32 stainless button head or round head screws. In my case also need to install helicoils because rivet holes were a little large to just tap.
