Stud Piloted vs Hub Piloted

[Curt Sprenger]

Hi Dick,
I'll try to explain.

Stud piloted...the wheel centers on the studs. The wheel stud holes and
lug nuts are tapered. The tapers center the wheel when the lug nuts are
tightened.

Hub piloted...the wheel is centered on the hub. The wheel stud holes and
lug nuts are not tapered.

Someone will chime in if my explanation needs refinement.
