changing bolt pattern?

I think you need to be concerned about strength - too many holes in the same hub might compromise safety - and that's even assuming the work is done precisely enough to avoid an out-of-round pattern or some sort of imbalance.

IIRC there are adaptors you can buy that change the bolt pattern but you're left with just the one pattern.

Has anyone checked to see if our suspensions can be modified to use the 2012 hub?
