 My hole can't take my stud...

The online resource says the Honey Pot uses 12 x 1.5" studs. The wheels I'm looking at getting are 12 x 1.25".
If I'm reading right, the wheel's holes are .25" too small in diameter to fit the Honey Pot's studs. If this is so, could they be safely bored out?
Oh, and will 285/70-17's fit on a stock Raider?
Thanks

Relax...thats the thread pitch of the studs.
Stud thread diameter is 12mm wide and 1.5mm from thread to thread
The other is 12mm wide also but a finer pitch of 1.25mm between threads.
Check the actual pitch of YOUR studs so you have lugnuts that match

So the 12mm stud will fit in my hole? Should I use anti-sieze?
Um, wait...
Good to know. Any idea if the tires will fit?

12mm is the size of the stud. same size as the stud on the truck youre getting the wheels from. the thread pitch is different so you will not be able to use the lug nuts from the other truck. if you cant use your lug nuts youll have to find some at a parts store or tire place. the lug nuts you use have to match the wheels (shank, acorn, etc)
as for those tires....i dunno. thats pretty big. as for anti-sieze.....i am NOT a fan of the stuff. never had a problem in my 12 years of turning a wrench by not using it.

Wheel studs and nuts are dry applications, no lube or sealer.
Your tire size should clear with adequate backspacing. I'm running 33x12.5 on rims with 4" backspacing.
