Drilling out steel wheels for 5/8 studs

[Doubleggregg]

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.

Any one else with an opinion?

You're removing a .035" ring round the rim of each hole (lol). You're not gonna take out a bus full of nuns, don't worry.

Yeah buy a reamer from McMaster and fucking send it

I did an old spare I had with a drill bit and counter sink. No issue in the few times I ran it

If you push steel wheels too much you will crack and blow the wheel out over/around the lugs. By push, I mean really push sideways rally style. Seen it and it is not pretty.
