8 3/4 Axle Drilling for BB

Thanks Daves69, much appreciated!

Can you tell me what kind of vehicle screw in wheel studs would have came on? And out of curiosity, why not the pressed in ones?

The screw-ins are an aftermarket item such as these............

As you can see in the picture the screw-ins are already close to the OD of the flange. A 5/8" press in knurl is going to be even closer yet. Better to keep as much meat around the stud as possible.

Once again, it is possible to do although not recommended.
