OK, I was thinking you meant the shank diameter was 1.188. I am getting new rear wheels this winter and I am going to drill and tap for 5/8 studs as well. I do think I might have to ream the wheel holes slightly bigger. I will order the studs after I get the wheels.

Tom, If your going to use a mag style wheel, be carefull with the 4.5 BC. with 5/8" studs, Socket won't clear wheel center. I used Hardened Nuts ( smaller than standard diameter, with a metric washer to center in the recess . ( Torque thrust wheels ) and had to grind the wall of the socket down to clear, next time, I would use 4.75 BC wheels ( Yea, I said it, I would use a GM BC ).

Hmmm. What do you consider modern? If you consider them being 2 years old, then yes they will fit.
