Fresh from the shipping office.......12" Delta Steel 4/137 12mm wheels holding up some meaty 27" Evo's.... got myself all kinds of amped up to mount them on this rig, got all decked out in my crummies, jacked the front of that red machine up, zipped them oem lug nuts off, loaded a new wheel on and....what the heck! I need flat faced lug nuts! Well OK, get on the ol' internet, start searching......24 hours later.....still searching.
So what say you wizards of wheels, can you point me in the right direction? Heck if you can land me on the X, I'll tell every person that I meet what a nice guy you are.

It didn’t sink in the first time I dug this up, But :
The Honda Pioneer 1000- does not use hub centric wheels. The radius on the lugs are what mounts the wheel in a concentric fashion.
How do flat faced lug nuts accomplish this?

Typically a flat faced lugnut drives the center of the wheel over the hub and the hub lines up the wheel. On most atvs it is a very fine lip/line on the outside portion of the hub.

Under the lugnut stud you can see the lip area where the atv wheel would sit and center itself.

You can see how the steel wheel would sit on the lip of the hub Screenshot 2022 11 03 06 32 20 50 680d03679600f7af0b4c700c6b270fe7

Lastly I just learned while searching for pictures there are dually atv kits. S l400

That hub does not look the same as a Pioneer 1000 . I did not see any centering ring that engages the alum. wheels that came on it

That wheels has tapered lug holes and nuts.

The wheels he is referring to are flat and use flat nuts. Basically they won't work on a Pioneer without them being off centered or out of round.
