They don't.  I think Mr Scheidt is just a little misinformed on wheels.  Most if not all stud-mounted wheels [on crappy non Euro cars - just playing along here ;) ]  are hub-centric.  They're located by the wheel's center bore and the bearing hub, NOT the studs & nuts.  That's why aftermarket wheels come with the selection of hub centering rings.
