I’m not engineer or truck driver. But I’ve been a passenger on a road trip all day and noticed, when passing a truck, that the front two tires have these massive bolts sticking out of the rims. Why are these bolts there? Is it a manufacturing thing? Why aren’t they on any of the other rims of the truck? I’m bored and I need answers!

The front wheels are generally identical to all other wheels on the rig. The front wheels only have a single tire installed to keep space available for steering mechanisms while all others would have a second tire covering the excess length of the lugs you see.
