Hi All
I still have my 31inch tyers on the 16inch rims from my patrol is there a spacer made to change stud patern so that I can slip on the patrol steelies ?

Not unless you shoehorn the GU diffs under there also.
Any spacer will have to be custom made.
Unless you get some 16" rims to suit the zook, i think diahatsu and f truck have them.

stud pattern adaptors can be bought in the US. They will space the rims out 1 1/2 or so inches + the additional rim offset. This will make your scrub radius HUGE.
For $50 or so per rim you'd be able to buy aftermarket 16" zook stud patterened rims.

I don't think that these are a good idea.
These are typically like a wheelspacer in design but the increased PCD along with the significant weight of the GU rim and effect on scrub radius will make these a pretty bad way of running a 31 on a sierra.
The cost of importing a set will probably equal the cost of cheap wheels in the size you need.

Unless you have Hilux diffs I'd be sourcing some 16" zook rims. What's so good about these tyres that you don't what to sell them and get the normal 15", 15's look tougher.
