Why dont you just convert to 6 lug bolts?? Change hubs and axles. You could use 16" tires.

You wanted 8 lug bolts, right? I have seven wheels, three are 16 inch and four are 17 inch. One of the 17 inchers has a hub that sticks out farther than the rim.

I have a lead on some that are close but not exact. Where are you located? I want steel, original looking kind of, 16-5, with 8 on 6.5 lugs. with enough offset to clear the brake drums on a '46 3/4 ton. I would like to mount 700-16 tires, so I believe any width from 4 1/2 to 5 1/2 inches should work. Any thing like that?
