Warren Eng in Glasgow converted my mates Saff to 5 stud so he could fit some wheels designed for a Merc with monster Brabus Alcon discs/calipers as he picked the wheels and brakes up for £450.

swapping to 5 stud is simple 
(i'm runing corrado rims on my sierra but i don't think they are to everyones taste
)
there are plenty of places that will flog you hub converters that you boot onto your hubs abd the wheels of your choice bolt into these (but then you do have to worry about offsets and stuff too)

I can do a Hub Conversion kit, which will convert the PCD, however, other than re-drilling the hub as mentioned above, it cannot be done without spacing the wheel out by at least 10-20mm.
My kit is a Bolt-on Steel Spacer that provides a new PCD to what you require. The spacer is a thick as the bolts are, so that they sit flush.

offsets are not a problem

haven't seen one up close myself, but the pictures they show seem to be of a spacer ring which bolts onto the hub and onto this you bolt your wheel
wether or not you have to knock your old studs out first or file them down or something i don't know, but the new studs sit in recesses on the other side of the spacer

You retain your exisiting studs and use them with the nuts provided in the kit to bolt the spacer on just as you would bolt the wheel on. This then leaves you with a 'new' hub face with studs (included with the kit), which you bolt your wheel onto as you would previously have done.
I supplied a set to someone on here. I think his username is 'Cosrush'. I will try and find the pics, but not sure if I stll have them.
