This is exactly what I've done. I wanted to use Porsche brakes on my bug, but the wheels I have are 5 x 108 pcd. You can't redrill 4 x 130 hubs to run 5 x 108 because the holes interfere, nor can you redrill 5 x 130. So I had to buy blank (vented) discs and turn them down to use as hubs. Then spend a lot of time running through the parts catalogue to find 300mm discs with the same thickness and the right pcd. Loads of fun.

But at least the rear was cheaper......Porsche 924 discs....same as bug ones but with 4 x 108pcd. Redrilled to 5 x 108 and im ready to go.

Next time im using porsche stud pattern!!!!
