J.C. Whitney used to sell adapters to put Ford, Chevy, or Chrysler wheels on VW bugs. The bolt circle was enough different that the adapter bolted up to the VW hub; the adapter had studs that you could bolt the wheel to. Only downside was a little extra positive offset.

It would be simple enough to create a pair of rings with both bolt patterns. Press a set of studs into the wheel-sized bolt circle and install the hub-sized bolt circle onto the existing bolts.
