5/8 studs and wheels that will fit them.

ive tried doing several searching but it keep coming up with 5/8 wheel spacers or 1 5/8 head tube sizing. I bought a rear that has 5/8 wheel studs and im trying to figure out what wheels will fit them? bolt pattern is 5 x4.75. i had to redrill my rotors to get them to fit but because with the larger studs the pattern is just slightly too large for the rotors to slip on. will have the same problem with most wheels? is there a list that shows what wheels are compatible 5/8 studs?? sorry if this is basic i have had to buy a new set of wheels before. these wheel studs and ls1 brake up grade have my head spinning a bit. i have pbr's in the rear and ls1 brakes upfront btw.

It's a tight fit, but CTW Motorsports' wheels have 5/8" openings for the studs - problem is getting a small diameter lugnut to fit in the recess for the lugs...

Re: 5/8 studs and wheels that will fit them.

I really like the RTS wheels but i dont think my ls1 front brakes will fit with a 15 inch wheel (id like to have 15's in the front and rear) unless i run a 3.5in wide rim. i want to be able to steer and stop safely on the street so i dont want to go that narrow with the front wheels. no sense in doing the brake upgrade is there isnt enough rubber on the road to take advantage of them.The RTS dont come in 16 in and the price of the 17's is through the roof.

If you have the financial means, Forgeline will make custom set of wheels to fit 5/8" drive studs. I have a set of 18" Forgelines made to fit such an arrangement.
