Wheelcraft has 7/10mm in diameter to allow for metric and imperial PCD wheels to fit.

Less than 0.015", I hope

Is the torque transfered via the studs or the wheel clamped by the wing nut?
Or both?

I suspect that after the wheel has "mated" with the mounting surface, most of the torque is taken by the flange surface. I know that if the wheel is run loose under high-torque circumstances, the pins are liable to break.

I know that my mate's Can-Am has quite short pin drives to turn the wheel.
And so have various Lolas. They do, however, feature steel insert in the mags.

We followed the original design's dimensions pretty closely. It takes a lot to trash the holes in the wheels. I never seen it happen.
