<VV> LM bolt pattern

Centering good, stud bending, BAD!!! Adjusting the holes is cheap and easy.

Many  folks have done this with no problems both inside and outside the
Corvair  community, but it does make the engineer in me nervous.  If I  was
going to use these, I'd make an adaptor/spacer to push the wheel out  a1/4"
or so and fix the centering hole mismatch.  The additional 1/4"  would allow
plenty of length to "bend" the studs without stressing  them.
