Ford hubs /wheel flanges

[TJC46]

Hi guys, usually on the TVR pages for my sins but need a little tech help concerning Ford front and rear wheel hubs. My car is a 1996 TVR chimaera which uses ford sierra front and rear hubs,[i think the exact model is the sierra XR 4i.] These are only 4 stud so im limited to choice in wheels. I want to fit 16 inch TVR spider wheels which are of the correct size and offsets but are 5 stud. I could get the original hubs and discs modified to suit 5 stud fixing but did ford evolve onto 5 stud hubs for the later sierra models, or is there hubs of the same size with 5 studs used on other ford models, thanks in advance, Tom.

All Sierra models used 4 stud but the Mk3 Granada of 1985-1994 used 5 stud hubs & are of similar size.
