Yeah, I see what you mean.

I'm tempted to go for adaptor plates on the rear to help reduce the amount of space between the wing edge and the wheel.
The only thing is that a lot of people don't like adaptors as they say they 'wobble'. Any views?

It would be handy for me though, as I'd need to buy new drilled hubs AND spacers to reduce the gap. Using adaptors would reduce the cost somewhat.

adoptors on the rear would be ok, but redrilled drums and spacers would be the better choice. a stud conversion would make life a lot esayer as well.

I'll go the redrilled drums and spacer way, but I can't see a stud conversion coming..
