After nearly f'n up my right front drum, I figured out how to get the tap to start cutting square with the drum. I just used the drill press to get it started, rotating the chuck by hand.

The local auto parts store didn't have the right kind of lug nuts, so I used the stock nuts from my Rabbit, and cut them to length.

Up sizing from 12mm to 14mm doesn't sound like much, until you see the difference. The nut on the right is one of the old 12mm nuts. Hopefully, this increase in size will be a real benefit to reliability.
