Where did you find these? Ive been looking for 4x4 5-spoke wheels to put on my Honda conversion!

 

 

they are trailer wheels but i found out they are made for 1/2inch wheel studs

 

and i only upgraded my wheel studs to 7/16's

 

i have a friend that did 12mm studs on his k20 mini

 

but i don't know if the hubs can handle being drilled out for 1/2 inch studs

And this is why I need adult supervision - while bolt pattern was always obvious to me, it never occurred to me that I couldnt put wheels for bigger studs on there - I figured it would get filled out by using tapered nuts. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

That looks a lot of leverage on the shocker bolt and bracket. What strength bolt are you using?
