Question Nice 8 lug rims..are they made?..rear drop help

basically what I'm asking is there a nice set of rims that have a hub cover over the 8 bolt on the rear axle?....and do they make any that would match the front using a 5 lugg pattern?...I ask because I'm going to a 3/4 ton rear end for towing and bed weight issues(large camper) and I can't see me making the 3/4 into a 5 lug.....I want to keep the 8 for strength. And since I'm asking questions....does anyone know the best way for me to lower the rear 1 1/2 or 2 inches?....I tried moving the rear axle on top of the springs and it was too low by about 3 inches......I am told lowering shackles would work but I'm not sure he best way since I have to have the 3/4 ton springs for the weight.....basically what I want is a rear drop but still have good strength to hold the weight.
