merc wheel drill out

   Drilled mine with hand held electric drill, you're only removing a millimetre all round so no real danger of running off centre. My wheels were a taper fit (not radius) so I had to buy extended studs and tapered nuts, get the correct nuts and it shouldn't be a problem.

	I've got a set of merc alloys that are going to need the stud holes taking from 12mm to 14mm, but the nut seat radius looks a lot smaller than the vans nut seat radius, anyone had any experience of this?
