You could, if you wanted to just bite the bullet and try

This is the first time I've heard of anyone doing a 5 lug conversion on a MINI

Seen it before, but it looks like that guy dumped a pretty penny on having all the hubs machined and balanced..

A friend of mine just bought a bolt on conversion. He was running 5 lugs for a while.

I think you're talking about the spacers that converts it to 5 lug, but idk.. I feel like they but a lot of stress on the wheel bearings...
