More hassle than its worth.

Not to mention the V Dub wheels will be a negative offset and will need about 2 inches of spacing to get them to fit.

It's not the hub which is the problem it's the drive flange and the connection to the drive shaft.....

You could get some get some 'conversion plates' made up which have a 4x4" PCD to attach to the mini hub, and then it has either studs or bolt holes to fit the 4x100 PCD...

There was a feature car in Miniworld that did this a few years ago. I think it was a pink mini from Australia.

But they were also a HOOJ spacer to correct the offset of the wheels they used.
