37/64” drill 14 mm is too small. You need a bit of clearance. I have 5 mm spacers on mine to clear LT215/75R15 tires from the upper control arms. E320 15” wheels. I put studs on the front for convenience. (You’ll want to do this. Trust me.) You’ll need small ball seat lug nuts/bolts. My stud length in the rear is 55 mm. Ebay has raised hubcaps that will complete the appearance upgrade. <https://www.ebay.com/itm/363232379347> Christopher at T3technique.com is your friend. He has all the ‘right’ answers.
