Check out the thread on 22B about this. Lots of hassle to upgrade to bigger hubs.

got a link bud, think you have to be signed up to 22b to use its search function.

Also keen to know more about this!

I have heard of a nissan bearing that fits but is a higher load rating, but cant find any info on it now!

I think there are four different ways to tackle this ,fit a higher rated bearing ,machine a bearing to a closer tolerance , machine a GC8 hub to take a later 114mm pcd bearing,and last is machine a later hub to fit the strut and also alter the pcd ,all these ways have been done before ,I am going to look down the 3rd one machining the GC8 hub first,just let you know this is being done to stop pad knock off (springs behind the pistons is also an option)not due to bearing failure,the 366mm discs dont help
