I usually do not like modifying wear parts for the reasons previously mentioned, but the rotors on the rear of the FSB are far more extensively modified. Enough so that I made a 3rd such rotor as a spare.

A concern is that if the holes are drilled larger, and then the studs are replaced with some that lack that protruding shoulder that then there will be nothing to center the rotors.

And all of that would mean that you don’t even have to replace the studs at all. Another kind of win. 😁
Just make sure to test the rotors before modifying, to be sure that they are straight and true to begin with.
After all, “trust, but verify” are words to live by more than ever. 😉

Ended up drilling rotors and replaced a couple wheel studs and all good. Tested out and got about 9 full turns on the lug nuts so should be good
