Default PCD Adaptors 5 stud wheels on a 4 stud hub?

I've been looking at a set of wheels for my MK4 Escort. They're OZ ones from a Focus WRC and they'll look great after a refurb but the problem is they're 5 stud fitment.

I know this has been asked before but there's a lot of conflicting information on here and I'd like some definitive answers please!

1. Would Granada 4x4 hubs work? If so is there anywhere I can get them nice and cheap. The only set on Ebay is £150!

2. Is there a company that specialises in adaptors to change 4 stud hubs to accept 5 stud wheels or vice versa?

3. Could an Engineer make up an adaptor plate to suit that would be cheap enough and thin enough but strong enough for the job?

4. Can anyone change the actual stud fitment of the wheels i.e. weld up old holes and drill new ones?

I'd appreciate a swift answer on these as I'm wanting to buy the wheels as soon as possible if they can be made to fit for a reasonable amount of cash.

They were going to do me some 4x100 to 5x112 adaptors until i changed plans. they are local to me

3. Could an Engineer make up an adaptor plate to suit that would be cheap enough and thin enough but strong enough for the job?
Cheap, Thin, Strong. i think only 2 can apply, not all three

4. Can anyone change the actual stud fitment of the wheels i.e. weld up old holes and drill new ones?
Seen it done, but won't wrc rims be mag?
