    Press in or screw in? If press in yes you should be able to put 1/2in if screw in not with out some careful work

    Were they custom axles? Usually Moser off shelf axles have a dual size already drilled. Custom axles you have to pay for the different extra ...You can drill them out and or try to tap...But you really do not want to mess this stuff up you want studs to put square through and be true if not they will not clamp rim correctly and could cause issues.

    Be careful I have seen people do this wrong and if press in studs are knurled wrong the nut will spin the knurl in the whole drilled to large and it is HELL to get the stud out...lol

    With it being 7/16 you should be able to find a suitable stud with the correct knurl, I know I done it one time b4 years ago the shoulder/knurl on the 7/16 was good bit larger than the stud and on the 1/2 it was basically just slightly larger and it pressed rite in

    I just get the 1/2” screw-in studs,when I got to 1/2”. You can tap the existing holes for them.
