Spacers and converting stud pattern?

I have seen a few bolt on spacers that convert stud patterns.
Has anyone seen or used 4x114.3 to 5x114.3 bolt on spacers?
Using a 25mm spacer and changing the stud pattern would open up a whole new world of wheels.

Spacers NOT legal in Oz for road registered cars.

You can certify them here up to 27mm...

Also I know the rear hubs can be redrilled to 5 stud because it's been done already.
Has anyone redrilled the front hubs?

I don't think redrilling the front hubs would work, because of the bolt on rotor arrangement, and the actual shape of the hub.

I;m sure it would be possible to spin up a completel replacement hub, and use some other 5 stud slip on rotor, with the factory calipers and struts... The s13 boys do it to convert to 5 stud.

Easier to get widebody bits form the US?

I did ask in the for sale section if anyone had some 5 stud front hubs tidy would send me but no luck.
I do have the 5 stud rotors, just need the hub.

Yeah you could convert them back, the wheel studs are welded in though so a bit a grinding to do. Also have rear hub shells for you.
