Default 5 bolt hubs

Hi, the issue of hubs has been talked about in depth on here - if you do a search you'll find it. In summary 4 stud can't be changed to 5 without very thick
Spacers. Wellding up the hole and redrilling has been done but is only for a skilled engineer willing to use X-ray to test strength. One guy on here has actually fitted Alfa Romeo 166 ( and that is the only Alfa with the right size) hubs in MG uprights. This gives the right 108 mm x 5 PCD, the right centre bore size for Cromodora wheels or the new replica Dino wheels available at 695GBP in 14 and 16 inch size from Superformance. That is the route I'm planning on taking. All the best,
Ross in NZ
