[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
