Is it possible to change the wheel stud pattern.

I want something different, however as 5x108 is very rare it is difficult to find a nice set of wheels.

I have come across a 855 on merc AMG rims, however hub adapters where used to change to 5x112.

I'm sure the new v70 uses 5x112 offset, is it possible it just change the hubs over to use the v70 offset to enable me to use a wider range of wheels ?

The 855 in question -

Would be cheaper and easier to have proper hub adapters fitted then to change all the hubs. Some Ferrari's share the same 5x108 stud pattern if you fancy a change !
