Will it or won’t it?

This is a photo from a 1972 Cutlass or 442 in which I have an interest.
The fellow Olds enthusiast with whom I am speaking says these are 1/2” wheel studs and as such no factory wheel will fit.
My question is whether a 15x8 SSI wheel will fit..like the type that Coker and the like sells.
As always, grateful for your replies.

It's possible that the studs will fit through the lug holes in a factory wheel, but they may not. That's irrelevant anyway. No factory 15" wheel is likely to clear those aftermarket brakes.

Will they or won’t they part deux

Again, now that it is established that a factory SSI 15x8 ( not really all that factory is it?) will not fit onto this I have ventured into the American Racing wheel world.
Look at this picture. It’s not a Wheel Vintique wheel; more likely a AR. Do you agree?
But I see where is has an Oldsmobile center cap. Do any of you know who owns the car or who manufacturers these wheels that use the Oldsmobile center caps?
Thanks as always..

I've seen those wheels on a car. I really like them. They aren't crazy expensive either.

The white 69 was in Murfreesboro last week. I hope someone sees this thread who knows the owner.
