from 4 stud to 5 stud

dunno if you lot have noticed my photoshops but when i start building my next corsa, i want to convert it to five stud as i want to put some standard vauxhall wheels on, (gsi, Coupe turbo or the Five Spoke SE2 Coupe rims)

What kind of work is involved and did 2.0 16v Cavaliers come with a 5 stud set up can i use donor parts from them??

Not bothered about time as i'll have a run aroudn and the use of other cars (mum and dads mainly)

Any information will be greatly appreciated guys

exactly why i dont wanna use them Icy... been told they arent exactly vauxhall fitment friendly aswell so that means my idea of GSi rims and the likes out the window
