Hub centric

With a conical lug nut that mates into a conical seat, hub centric can be thrown out the window. Now, on the other hand, if you have mag wheels that attach with a shank style lug nut, then hub centric becomes critical. Since the wheel has a minute amount of space between the lug nut holes and the shanks of each lug nut, without a hub to center on, there can be endless possibilities of where to position that wheel. So you could say that each style, hub centric and lug centric are both dependent on which type of lug nut is used.
