IMO hub-centric wheels would have been a no-go. The wheel would be centered OK but would have a tendency to rotate during braking because of the clearance between holes and studs. With the tapereed lug nuts nothing can move.

It is an 8K axle, hubs and brakes. The hubs and brakes are supplied by Kodiak out of Texas and come with either size studs. It was a detail that was not thought of during ordering. I didn't know at the time and no one asked.

I talked with Kodiak earlier about the failure and what I should do about the remaining bearings. When I have time I will replace them.
