So the wheels aren't tucked into a cave and have a normal rear track.

Do they sell those that would convert a 5 lug to an 8 lug?

They generally don't convert to a stronger bolt pattern because some idiot would over load  then wreck and sue them.  I was trying to find some to convert jeep 5 on 4.5" to standard 6 on 5.5" but no one makes them.

I've noticed this and had this same thought too.

With the same number of lugs there's room in between for the adapted pattern.  I don't know how you'd get eight of them in there.

I just wanted to be able to run a set of wheels I like off a newer truck. I think its the factory ones from the 3/4 ton trucks, 2000 model. Guess I have to convert.

www.airbagit.com custom makes their wheel adaptors, and of course, lets not forget the 8lug to semi 10 lug adaptors for dually's.

They do weird patterns and stuff, its prolly easier to call them to get the quote. And I beleive they're 100 a piece.

I just looked for myself.  They did fit the eight lugs in there!
