Has anyone tried building up the metal like on the 70 hubs by welding? I hear so many people crying how thin the later hubs are. Any ideas on if this would work or not?

When drilling the late(thin) hubs for 5 lug, do they mill a flat surface on the backside of the hub first so the head of the stud will seat correctly?? If so, that removes even more material. I ran a set of the late hubs mod'd for 5 lug but only ran 195/60's. My new project will be running 255/45-17s and I'd be worried about the thinner hubs????
