Default anyone install their on bead lock screws?

I just bought a set of summit pro stars 15x10 rims for my 02, ( I am converting to a 5x4.75 lug pattern) and I also bought bead lock screws for my slicks. My question is has anyone installed their on screws or are you having them done? I just do not want to screw up my rims and the template I bought does not fit the rim very well. Just wondering if you guys have any ides on how best to go through with this?

I'd just buy actual beadlock wheels with bolts and not screws

Did you mark the rim and tire to confirm?

I had a lot of slip on my blazer when I ran a 10" wheel with 30x9.50x15's.
Just put the tires on the stock 7.5's and fixed it. Didn't think 10" would have been a problem but they definitely spun. tore some rubber up on one of em.
