u see idiots buy 5 stud alloy wheel and only have 4 stud hub i wouldnt risk it mate driving with a missing wheel nut

Errrr.... How in the hell did you work that out... Even if these wheels and hubs had 4x100 & 5x100 pcd's only one bolt hole would line up... Thus meaning 4 missing....
Gotta love Internet geometry... Pmfsl

Well the only possible way that i can think of at the moment is if you fit 5x120 wheels to 4x100 hub using and adapter, because of the alignment one bolt will have to be left out, this meaning 3 bolts into the 4x100 hub... But then you would still have 5 bolts from wheel into the adapter and 3 from the adapter to the hub... 
geometrically it's not physically possible to do it with the afore mentioned pcd's....... Nor any that I am familiar with.... Yup... I like wheels.. Lmao
