[Mgb-v8] 5-lug hubs (Jaguar swap?)

All,
    I've been looking for a 5-lug option for my ongoing V-8 conversion.  
With fender flares, I won't easily be able to find wide rims with the 
stock 4-lug pattern.  I'm just about ready to order new axles for my 
Dana 44 rear-end, so I have to decide on a bolt pattern post-haste. 

    I know some have used the Porsche 944 hubs, but that is a funky 
metric pattern that his limited applications.  I bought a Jaguar 
XK-something front-end because someone told me that those hubs would 
mount on the stock B spindle.  However, I took the Jag apart tonight, 
and the spindles have different dimensions, so it's not a drop-in fit.  
Does anyone know it's possible to get bearings with the same OD ( fit in 
the Jaguar hub) but a smaller ID to fit on the B hub?

    Barring that, anyone know a source of custom hubs or another car 
that has the same spindle dimensions as the B?
V/R
