Guy and I just fit his Toyota Camry wheels to std. Ford pattern hubs. The bolt pattern was the same but we needed to use Toyota lug nuts to attach the alloy wheels to the hubs. So we pressed out the original studs, drilled out the holes to 14mm and pressed in new studs that he purchased.
The biggest problem was boring out the alloy wheels so that they would fit over his new axles hubs. I couldn't fit them in my lathe so I put em on the mill. Dialed them in to within .001, and bored them out on the mill. Now they slip right over his new hubs and bolt right up.
The biggest problem I see (if you buy blank hubs and drill them out as required to fit your wheels) is having the bore in the wheel slip over the hub.
Cheers,
Gus
