Taylor's wheels come with two different angles on the stud holes. There's
the standard and NASCAR. I went with the standard so the front and back
would be the same. Later I found 1" lug nuts that are machined with one
angle on one end and the other angle on the other! The bottom line is that
they match up!!!!!
