Default Changing Hubs?

Has anyone changed front hubs on a second gen. so they could fit third gen. 20's on it. Any advice would be appreciated.

You dont need to change hubs to fit 3rd gen wheels. I have pics of 2nd gens with 20's(really HOT!).

The center hubs are bigger in diameter on my "99. Is there something I'm missing here?

From what I've read on here, I thought you need a spacer? Maybe I'm wrong though.

I know the bolt pattern is the same but the hub itself is bigger in diameter so the wheel won't slide on. Am I missing something here.
