Quite often, part of the "resto-mods" we do on our trucks includes swapping wheels. On 1/2 through 1-ton trucks, most of them originally have tapered lug nuts that center the wheel bolt holes on the lug studs, but most of them also have a close-fitting center hole that mates with a flange on the front hub or rear axle. Sometimes an aftermarket wheel will have a bigger center hole, so all the stress of holding up the vehicle is carried by the lug studs. How about some comments on how the group feels about matching up the wheel center hole size with the hubs/axles? Critical, "nice to do", "makes no difference", etc. I've always been just a little uncomfortable about trusting the studs to carry vehicle weight as well as hold the wheels on.
