When buying wheels for heavy vehicles, all they make are wheels hub centric and use shoulder nuts. they heavy ones like our MHs use an attached washer. The manual says t lube the shoulder of the bolt but not under the washer.
I bought, new wheels for a car several years ago. they were supposed to use shoulder nuts with washers. They used cone nuts. The wheels didn't ride right. when I attempted to take them off, I found out. Over two hundred pounds of torque to remove them. Dealer replaced the wheels and nuts.
Hard to shop for the right nuts or wheels some times. The Dealers mostly want to sell the same Chinese junk, maybe with different labels even. Many don't even know what the fuss is about.
