That would work on anything bar hubs, Wouldnt the wheels then need to be drilled out? You'd then have to jump up a socket size, is there room for a bigger socket in the standard wheel holes?

Replace all the hubs is the ideal solution, Thread chaser is next best thing if it was only 1 hole. Next would be to weld and re drill and tap the flange and then lastly a timesert.

Potentually expensive mistake forsure!
