Default Drilling out wheels for 5/8" studs??

Anyone ever drill any wheels out for the big 5/8" studs. My 12 bolt has the big studs and I will be swapping wheels from bogarts to Z06 wheels.

Not sure its gonna fit. ANYONE?

no one has ever tried this? I'm sure someone has at least thought of it.

I wouldn't try it w/out a jig and press.

Little bit off and you're gonna have a wobble from hell, even if they do go over the studs. JMO.....

Side note.... you can remove the axles and have the smaller dia. holes machined into the axle flanges for the proper size studs-
