I bought them on eBay since I couldn't find 7/16-20 studs with a 6 by 5.5 bolt pattern (to match my lugs) on Speedway or Summit.....they may have them but they made it hard to find.

Here is a link to what I bought - https://www.ebay.com/itm/262252146185

They certainly ain’t cheap.
A 16x7 would be the way to go but still not a guarantee they’d fit either. Sometimes the wheel is designed different when you swap to larger sizes.
And if you changed to a different rim style like the cragars, still no guarantee they’d fit.
Yeah, #1 reason I was disappointed given what I spent for them and the tires. I'd prefer the ones I bought, so the spacer/adapter should allow me to save my current investment.

Thanks!
