Does Wheel Retaining Ring Center Wheels that are Lug Centric or Hub Centric
Question:
Ive got a few customers that have removed the retaining ring on their trailers and put the swivel lug nuts on them. Ive noticed a pattern of lug nuts coming loose after a period of time and shearing off the wheel studs. Are these rings critical for a stud pilot wheel and or hub piloted wheel. And what would the difference be between them?

The wheel retaining rings are critical for lug piloted wheel setups. If your customers took this off and the wheel wasn't hub piloted and instead was lug piloted that would cause a lot of issues including studs sheering off.
