It's possible to have your hubs redrilled to 5 stud, assuming you have the 4 stud std wheels that will then be no use any longer can I have first dibs on them if selling them ?

massive?! not really - there's a lot of models not available in 4x108 or models that look much better in 5 stud pattern

Hi,
Approach a local engineering company, it is not a hard job at all(engineering wise), they will most likely either just redrill 5 holes in pcd that you want, or weld your 4 holes, skim flat then redrill to 5 holes and tap, make sure you can get the offset you need before going ahead, I'm sure you can, but wouldn't want you to go ahead and find you couldn't.
Please pm me if you are in position for a sale please, thanks, would do these in gloss black for my mercury grey sapphy!!

I have a cad drawing indicating where the holes need drilling, you re-use one of your existing stud positions. Im doing the same thing to fit ST220 18's to my ST170

marky_g - you're sure Transit Connect hubs are plug&play - that would mean easy conversion both to 5x108 and to 300mm brakes at the same time (the same brakes as on ST170 as far as I rememnber)?

Use mondeo 300mm brake disks and calipers, will fit on your hubs unlike the ST170 ones that require ST170 hubs, almost identical the mondeo caliper is just slightly different. Interesting with regards to transit connect hubs, will the spline pattern match that on the ST170 drive shafts?
