Hello all, New here and have some questions

I recently bought a 1988 K5 Blazer with a 350 - 4 Speed, 62000 original miles.

The truck is in very good condition with the typical rust in the rear bed area and the drivers door sill due to it sitting outside with leaking glass seals.

I plan on fixing the rusty areas and replacing all the rubber seals as soon as the UPS man arrives.

Here is my question:

Can I replace the original 7/16 wheel studs with modern 14mm studs so I can run newer style wheels intended for modern GM trucks? If so, what stud should I be looking for? or, what can I do to mount the newer rims?

The local tire shop has a set of awesome looking Eagle Alloy rims that were ordered for a newer Chevy truck but the guy never picked them up. I've been offered them for list price minus the guy's initial payment.

Any comments will help me.

Thanks, Woody
