If the wheels stay on there any extended period of time...at least in a humid area like FL with salt added in beachfront camping...you'll find out how close that fit is. I was able to kick and shake the fronts off the hubs. Sitting beside it and kicking with both feet got the rear outers off. Rear inners? Couldn't budge by hand or foot. Ended up using a piece of 4x6 fence post I had, about 4-ft long, like a battering ram. Our wheels have an extra 7/16" hole between two of the stud holes. I threaded them 1/2 NF (20-thread) and use an old boat trailer lug bolt to force stuck wheels loose. I had to install the rears so the valves are one hole away from directly opposite. Othewise those "now-puller-holes" would line up. I'd be screwing the wheels together instead of pushing them apart.
That Hub-Piloted is a good system. You'll like it. Many of us put Never-Seez in that area before mounting the wheels. I've heard of loosening the nuts and moving the coach a little to loosen the wheels. Only the rear inners seem to be the sticking problem.
