What’s the general consensus on drilling out steel wheels for 5/8 studs? If they were aluminum wheels I’d do it in a heartbeat.

I have hubs with 5/8 studs but my current steel wheels stud holes are not big enough to pass the 5/8 stud through them. Would you drill them out and open them up? Or I could possibly even just use a reamer.

Currently holes in wheels are just about .600 need to be about .670 for 5/8 studs.

I have the ability to chamfer the holes and drill them out so tools aren’t the issue.
