Default 8 bolt wheel swap 2nd gen wheel on 1st gen truck

I have a 1st gen 3/4 ton with 1/2 lug bolts,I would like to put 2nd gen chrome wheels on it,They have 5/8 lugs that are bigger to hold center cap on.Does any body know what lug nuts to use to hold centercaps on.

I believe you would have to have them custom made. (macine time plus heat treating = big $$$)
