new wheel studs 5/8 with a .6850 knurl diameter

about how many thousandths under .6850 should i machine the factory wheel stud hole so it presses in properly?

The spec catalogs used to give the diameter of the knurl and the bore that it was intended for. I don't know if that's still given, but it's worth looking.

For something round yes. For something thats splined no.

I usually measure the minor diameter of the spline and go a couple thousandths bigger.
