Question 5x5 to 8x6.5 do they exist?

ok, so looking around for wheels, i came across the Axis Regulator and rather like them. However, they have a limited bolt size selection, which none fit the JK's 5x5. they have 5x4.5 (which i know will fit with a spidertrax spacer) and they have 6 and 8 bolt patterns. the 15" rims are the 5 bolt pattern, 16" is the 6 lug, and the 17" wheel is the 8 lug.

this is what they look like:


now... like i said, i know i can get a 5x4.5wheel spacer and the 15" bolt pattern would fit. i did find a place that sells 5x5 to 6x5.5 which the 16" version would work and can get them up to 2" thick. so if anything, i'll go with those and the 16" wheels. however, i'd like to stick to 17's if possible.

so has anyone seen or know if its possible to goto an 8 lug pattern on the JK?

There are a lot of wheel companys that make that wheel in all sizes.

really? i've seen others that are simular... but if i can't find a spacer adapter, and they can't make one that'll fit, i'll probably go with the pro-comps and the x-treme rings painted to match my jeep.
