Edit: This also centers the wheel on the hub, might make the ride a bit smoother as well.
a lot of the rims --especially the chinese atvs --- use a basic hex nut with the stud holes being flat and just oversized enough to get them on. on these, if you use tapered nuts, you do need to put them on backwards or else the tapered side will come loose easily since there's very little seated area. otherwise, golf cart and a few of the buggy rims are just as you stated.
