What are you guys using to bevel weld in centers without them? Have never done it, so no clue what tools I would need and what angle to bevel.
Or would I be fine just flipping the lugs to the flat side?

I've always flipped my lug nuts to flat side then running a plate then another set of lug nuts. In 11 years I've never had a lug nut come loose even with bent rims or running single lug nuts flat side to center. Stock rims I run the shank in the rim but centers I always run flat side to center then double nut

Just get a beveling bit, I’m not sure if they have a specific name. 90 degree is what we use because that’s the angle of our lugnuts

I just put gorilla construction adhesive on them, peels off fairly easy to change tire but will hold

you need the bevel to prevent lash which will break the stud. The tool is a beveler, but also known as chamfer or countersink. You could also use a large drill bit. An angle that matches the nut is preferred. Something is better than flat.
