    The wheels are stud piloted, not hub piloted. That means the wheel is centered by the lug nuts not the hub. If you look at the lug nuts they have a point that is what centers the wheel or pilots them. A car that has the big flat lug nuts are hub piloted.

    I don't know about the GMs and I didn't think the old MM were hubcentric but my understanding was all of the new Titan wheels are hubcentric. Even the steel wheels.
