Like I said via sms text, everyone told me the 10 spokes are lug centric. The lt1 rear axle hubs are a larger diameter than the ls1 wheel styles have. I ground the center out till it slipped on and off fine then tightened it down and never had an issue, neither did you.

Now my simple mind's thoughts on this, acorns taper to center the wheel over the studs and exert outward force on the wheel through the taper while shanks pass through the wheel at a tight tolerance and exert clamping force through the washer behind the lug nut and hub/axle face. Now looking over my shoulder, a heavy duty dump truck has lug nuts with washers that push against the face of the rim, they do not pass through the wheel. This would make it a hub centric wheel while I think both of the others I mentioned first would be lug centric. This is only speaking from my hands on experience and not dealing with custom or aftermarket wheels that may do things differently.
