The use or non-use of concentric hubs to locate the wheel is independent of the
choice between studs or bolts.
If there is centering fixture built into the hub and wheel, the fastening
method should be irrelevant to centering.
If there is no centering fixture built into the hub and wheel, I don't see
where there would be discernible difference between a tapered nut and a tapered
bolt for centering the wheel.
