MN 87 turbo wheel conversion to 93-96 oem wheels

Im looking to put on some oem rims on my 87 rx7 from an rx7 model yr 93-96. they are the same bolt pattern but are 16x8 instead of 16x7. Wheel spacers cant be used because the oem studs are too small. I was recommended to summit by rx7 forums. Couldnt find studs under my make/model but found them in general section. Id like some help finding the proper size (bigger & stronger(thicker?)) than oem so I can bolt the wheels on. They need to be roughly about an inch longer to accommodate the new wheels. Help! anyone know of any hubs that have the studs on them already? can fd hubs be used? Ideally Id like the easiest way but want to make sure its done right the first time & can handle a good 4-500 hp atleast. This is my baby, as alot of you fellow rotor heads feel the same Im sure. It was my first car & have been building it up since I was 16, 16 yrs ago. Any & all info is appreciated, esp exact links to ordering, just please know what youre doing & not guess. Much love T-rex jockeys.

The width and the offset are what will cause issue. You need a set of spacers with new studs: https://www.rx7club.com/showpost.php...8&postcount=14.

H&R spacers: http://www.trakplus.com/application. Pick a 1988 Mazda 626 from the drop-down menu. It will have the same 59.5 center bore and bolt pattern.

Wheel spacers cant be used because the oem studs are too small. I was recommended to summit by rx7 forums. They dont carry studs under my make/model for the front. Id like some help finding the proper size (bigger & stronger(thicker?)) than oem so I can bolt the wheels on. They need to be roughly about an inch longer to accommodate the new wheels. Help!
