Think of it as a crack that's already been stop drilled.
That little bit of metal can't add much strength, and besides, there is still as much metal there as there was the day it left the Budd co.
So it wouldn't hurt to grind a weld prep in,fill it with MIG, grind flat and paint, mount a new tire on it, them ship it to me, I could use another spare.
