Hello... Someone must have had this problem before me.

My '73 Camper Special has 16.5" rims and (8) 5/8 inch lugs. According to my reliable tire shop, the aftermarket offers no rims that would allow me to move to a 16, 17 Or 18" size, because of the extra-large studs.

Realize that I don't want to change tire size for Bling-Bling purposes! In fact, I want either wagon wheels or OEM hubcaps.

The reason is a set of 16.5" tires are nearly $1K, come in limited sizes with a tread pattern that looks like a child's drawing of a tire. 16, 17 or 18" would open up a world of cheaper, better tires.

So what is the fix here?
