The studs that are used to mount the wire wheel splined extensions are about
5/16" shorter than those used to mount the disc wheels. Also, the nut is
thinner than the nut used for disc wheels. If you don't use shorter studs and
thinner nuts, the stud and/or nut will contact the inside of the wire wheel
and not allow it to seat properly on the adaptor. This is not good because
the wheel will be contacting only at four points (the studs and the nuts)
instead of the whole circumference of the adaptor. I have seen this on a car
and it makes four fairly nasty "gouges" on the inside of the wheel hub.
