I know when I used type 2 20mm rings on the rear, the original studs were contacting the back of my wheels preventing proper fitment.
I think it is because the stock wheel lugs aren't truly lug centric, so some of the load gets transferred to the centering ring instead. I don't think it would happen with after-market wheels.
