yes, because the holes in back are deeper - no obstacles behind them.

if you're being picky it's a lug screw. bolts use nuts. screws go into threaded holes

Default I guess nuts don't have threaded holes then...
wait a minute, if a bolt fits into a nut, but it also fits into a threaded hole, is it still a bolt? or is it a screw?

Default bolt goes thru a clearance hole, secured with a nut. don't konw what the last one is, reduntant?
though now that i think about it, you could consider the hole in the wheel as the clearance hole, and the hub as a nut in which case we're back to having lug nuts and lug bolts. screw these nuts everyone knows what we're talking about right?
