1/2" studs in stock hubs...what the F#)%K am I doing wrong?
Well I got the old studs out, but the new studs are considerably larger. Do I just drill out the holes to just big enough for the new studs? Or do I thread them in from the back with a socket in the small hole? They are the Moroso press in studs if that helps.
Please help me as I wanna get these wheels on tonight

Need to have the holes redrilled to accept the larger studs. Don't drill them out yourself. Bit will wander.... bolt pattern will be off.... wheel will either not bolt up or will wobble.
I just went from stock dia. to 5/8"..... couldn't find anyone local to do the work.
Need an axle jig.... give Strange or Moser a shout..... they'll redrill the flanges for about $60.00

Any automotive machine shop will drill out the holes, anyone with a drill press can do it really.
If the knurl diameter is just a tiny bit larger they will go in though, I have drilled them out a little larger on the car but you have to be careful and go 1/32 larger at a time.

This would be a press fit for the stud. ( 1/32= .031)
