Wheel bearing swap, Gen 3 to V, is IT possible?

Hello, we have the problem in Germany that you can only install rims with a report, unfortunately the selection of rims with a bolt circle of 5x100 is very small. That's why I now have the idea of installing the Prius V (5x114.3) wheel bearings on the Prius Gen 3. Has anyone ever done that, do the wheel bearings fit?

Report is a document with details of the rim. In Germany, the rims have to be tested, which means that the rims have to pass certain tests, including when they break and how they break. There are several complicated tests by the German TÜV.

As a result, Rotiform has only been available in Germany since last year, 3sdm, Volk Racing and others do not exist with us and if there are any, only for a lot of money because the people who sell them paid for the tests themselves. The manufacturers normally have these tests done, but these are mostly manufacturers that are based in Europe.

Germany is very complicated. If you buy rims with a report, you must then go to the TÜV, which checks the conversion and only if he gives the OK, the rims can be entered in the vehicle documents. As soon as the rims are registered, I can officially move the car. If I don't let that happen and the police stop me and the rims are not approved (no report) and are registered, the car will be decommissioned and only if everything is dismantled or if it is feasible can I drive the car again.

@Georgina Rudkus Another number does not have to mean that it does not fit.

@Attila Fekete Yes, the adapters are legal in Germany (if they have a report). I do not want to use such adapters because the offset depth changes with it, so you quickly get to the point where the wheel grinds on the fender.

If nobody has done this before, I will buy defective wheel bearings from both and compare them.
