5/16 is a -5 hard to get cause no one stocks it but if you have time to wait it can be ordered im pretty sure you can only get it from "Earl's"

AN is always 1/16 of an inch, example 1/2 line is 8/16 so -8 AN 3/4 is 12/16 so -12

hope that helps simply... that being said you rarely see many odd numbers expect maybe -3 for brake stuff, good luck
