not quite sure why your asking, I think you know the answer , coined wheels (one with concave , one with convex) cannot be mounted together on the rear, you need a smooth mating surface

Does anyone know of a good picture reference detailing the 'coined' surfaces? I've heard of this, but have never seen it first hand.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

The reason i am asking is because i haven't had a chance to pull the wheels off of mine to look at the mounting surface. It was my guess that they wouldn't work, but i didn't want to miss out on some cheap rollers.
thanks

Two holes are concave to center the wheel/ then install remaining lug-nuts



right in the owner’s manual for the truck. It says to use two 5/8-18 acorn lug nuts to center the wheels on the studs and then put the other lug nuts on. After they are tight remove the 2 acorn lug nuts and replace with yours and torque to spec.
