Find import 6 stud hubs, discs and drums.

Uber Rare. And you DON'T want that with consumables. Because worn disc's? PITA to find another!

Whats wrong with the 5 stud?

Next option is diff conversion :D

just chuck some lux diffs under would most likely work out more easier then try to change the stud pattern on origanal diffs

Yes.

But costly. I'd rather buy a rim than a spacer. Rims are generally cheaper $.
Also depends on how legal you want the car.
Also greater wheel bearing wear.

X2 it's false economy.

If you find the almost mythical 6 stud hubs, that's cool. You now have impossible to replace drums and rotors.

5 stud rims aren't hard to find or expensive.

if you want to do it to swap tyres between another car you own and your suzuki, think carefully about how suitable the 6 stud car's wheels and tyres are. I bet the rims are unnecessarily heavy and the tyres have an excessive load rating.

It's not worth the hassle in my book.

Steve.
