Just curious as to know are all rims the same when it comes to unbolting centers and flipping them?

Asking because ive taken the centers out of my meshies, painted them and put back in.. but not before i flipped em and stuck on the car for a photo lol...
anywho, the center just slid in fine when flipped, but when put on back normal side it had to give it a few light taps with a hammer and a block of wood to get it. even then i had to tighten the nuts in the same manner you do a 4 stud car, so that it all centers and pulls the center in properly.

So saying that, when reversed, all the strain is on the 18 odd nuts and bolts to keep the wheel together, where as when normal, the outer rim is taking some of the stress....

Or am i just over tide and should go sleep?
