Martin Pajak has 5 bolt hubs on his 4k.  So does (is his name) Tim with 
the 4kcstq race car featured on 2 Bennett's site.  I think he used the 
whole 5k strut assemblies somehow.  Only saw that one at night.

I haven't seen any hub adapters that would allow this, but I'm sure 
they're probably out there.

It requires welding?!  I missed that one.  I thought you needed some 
combination of front 5k driveshafts, 5kq hubs, and Coupe quattro rotors, 
and redrilled rears...
