I need to taper the holes in the centers of the 15x10s for my rockwells. Is it best to do this with a reamer? Anybody know what degree I need for the rockwell lugnuts?

Thanks

Just an off the cuff, unedumacated suggestion: But the ******* way would be to grind a drill bit to the angle you need (match up to your lug nuts), pre-drill the hole then use your ******* tool to get the seat angle you want.

Countersink not reamer

1 Big 3 inch bit with a stopset on the drill press ..

Sounds expensive Where can you get a 3" bit and how much $$??

make the centers hub centric and not lug centric and then use the flat style nuts.

Unfortunately it's too late. The centers are already welded into the shells and all holes drilled.

i would be concerned about champering a hole in plate seems to me you are just asking for a lug nut to pull thru. i guess it depends on how thick your material is.look at a stock rim. they roll the taper in and do not make the material thinner that the rest of the rim.

for a trail rig i might even consider a flat style nut even though you are not hub centric. after all how bad can it be with unbalanced swampers?

grind a drill bit to the angle, and drill. that is how we do our hummer centers. And a lug nut will not pull through 3/8" material.

For all the 20's I make I bought a 90 deg. counter sink out of MSC. You can get a decent 6 flute chaterless one for 26$, that is for a 1 1/4" diamiter. I dont think a 1" would work for a 3/4" stud. I think this is the best way of chamfering the holes. And I also dont think it would ever pull through a 3/8 plate.

If you are staying 8 lug, the easiest way to get the right taper is to use a set of stock "dually rings" that are used with budd wheels.

 

[JOHNS351C]

I wouldn't recomend just using dually rings. the purpose of counterboaring the holes is to center the weel and to hold it tighter, If you just put a dually ring on it, it will not be held as well as a tapered hole in the rim center. Also look at the cost difference, 26$ and you get the job done plus you have another tool! or buy the dually spacers which probably cost more.
