The ad states that he has 20 wheels (10+10) and they are hub piloted.

Anyone have a picture of a stud pilot wheel for reference so I can learn the difference?

Gotta ask, those rims with the 11.25 centers, Are these for the MC6 hubs ?
Or what would they fit ?

The stud hole, where the stud comes through the wheel, will tell you the difference. The hub pilot wheels use the hub to pilot the wheel center so the stud holes have a flat surface area and the lug nuts have an attached washer. Stud pilot, or "bud" wheels, use tapered lug nuts to locate the wheel on center. You won't see the taper with them installed but on dual wheels, like on the back, the center of the "stud" will have a square drive sticking out. On duels you are actually seeing the inner lug nut, there is an inner and outer lug nut for duels. I hope that helps make it clear as mud!

They make 3 different hub centers and bolt patterns for the hub pilot wheels and only 1 for the stud pilot wheels

I "think" I have it.  Am I safe to assume I have hub pilot set-up all the way around then. (my inner duels are steel, the other 6 are alloy and the spare is steel)
