I agree with down home. There are two basic types, hub centric where the hub centers the wheel and lug centric where lugs center the wheel. Using the wrong type can cause your issue.

Never heard of that and since you evidently know something so can you please explain how that would sheer the studs.

Thanx,

I believe that you purchased the wrong wheel type. believe you bought HUB piloted wheels instead of LUG piloted wheels. Hub piloted wheels center on the HUB and use lug nuts that have washers attached to them and cinch up against the flat part of the wheel. You probably used the LUG piloted lug nuts that fit into the cone shaped lug holes but since your new wheels did not have those type of lug holes, the lug nuts did not seat into the holes properly since the were not tapered, and when the lug nuts came loose it allowed the wheel to shift and sheer off all the lug nuts.

Here is a link to a description of the two types of wheels, you can google hub piloted wheels for further descriptions
