Hmm, using helicoils on a hub does not sound like a very safe idea, hopefully someone more knowledgeable than myself will pitch in..

PS: perhaps getting a couple of used hubs from Woody may be a safer option.

Couldn't you use these type of spacers?

that’s a good idea. lots of weight, though, all spinning around. i had a look last night and it should be possible to remove the current press-in studs and fit some longer ones without pulling the hubs. or wait and put some new hubs in when i do the bearings (they are about due anyway).

I agree, that is not a good idea. Keeping the wheels on the car is probably the number one thing to worry about.
