Default Wheels for 5/8" Studs

I have a car with stock studs and looking at buying wheels designed for 5/8" studs.

Will this work properly?

Do you mean buying wheels with 5/8" holes, and using the stock 7/16" studs, or drilling your hubs for 5/8" studs, installing 5/8" studs, and then using wheels made for 5/8" studs?

Yes, buying wheels with 5/8" holes and using the stock 7/16" studs.

Would this work well?

Thanks

Are you looking at wheels with tapered seat lug holes, or straight drills, for use with "mag shank" lugs? Also, are the wheels hub centric?
