Anyhow, you can either use a high offset wheel with hub convertors like on the Jag Corsa.
You can have custom hubs fabricated.
Or, you can fill the orginal holes in your hubs and have new stud holes drilled if you can find some wheels with an appropriate PCD and offset...

Any engineering firm could re-drill a hub for you.
I was thinking that it might be possible to laser cut an extra circle of steel to weld around the outside of the hub and drill in some new holes as 5 stud wheels hae a bigger PCD right? You would need to speak to an engineering firm about that again... I might be wrong about the PCD though...

You would need custom spiggot rings made up for the brakes and wheels too... Expensive stuff, so you might be better off waiting until you convert the engine if your'e going 2.0...

My hubs are currently being re-drilled along with my brembo's and rear discs, think its turning out to be a fairly big job as taking them longerthan they stated in the 1st place
