cast wheel studs question

gang,

I was asked a question today that I couldn't truthfully answer, not knowing...

what is the PROPER answer to why one should use studs instead of an appropriate sized bolt to attach hub/rim clamps.
Obviously, that's the way they came from the factory... but, there must be a reason.

I have purchased and powder coated new rims, and the new studs I bought ( exact book dimensions ) aren't long enough because the rim is just slightly wider in
the center rib.

I appeal to the brain trust!
TIA,
Fr. Bob

From a technical point of view I don't think it matters. But from a practical point of view it's a whole lot easier to start a nut on a stud, then to line up bolt holes while holding a rim in place.
 

IIRC factory wheel & wheel weight bolts have ribs in shank of bolt close to bolt head so bolt remains were installed while installing wheel clamps or weights & then installing LW/nuts
 
I needed replacement lug nuts for an old bat wing mower. I took one down to the local auto parts shop to see if they could match it up. They had a big catalog of lug nuts and studs - Dorman, if I recall, and there must have been hundreds of variations. You could probably find exactly what you need like that.
