Last question first, yes those first pictures are of the backside of the rim and I do know that the rim has to be mounted with it's face out. Next, yes I think the studs (bolts) are cut too short too. But, that's the only way I could fit them between the wheel hub and the brake disk to thread the bolts into the back of the hub. If I was to do it again, I would take some material off the head of the bolts first before trying to fit them into the back of hub.
Thank you Radioguy41 for this info.
"The nuts are not supposed to "sink" into the wheel, only part of the taper. That taper is only there to help center the stud in the hole as the nut is tightened."
