Well I finally found the sketch I made on what needs to be modified in regards to hubs fitting 16" NM/NP alloys. My hubs are drum units, I've just drawn a non braked hub for the detail.
This is a slimline bearing hub. My hub nose was 58mm in diameter. Yours may vary. All that was required to fit the 6 spoke alloy was to have a spigot 53mm in dia x 5mm in length turned on the seal cap area. To fit the 5 spoke alloy, another reduction is required about 57 dia x 8mm in length. I didn't turn this second bit, but lightly linished the hub till the 5 spoker fit (it took nothing).
In addition, you will more than likely need a longer axle to accommodate for the paj's +40 wheel offset. This will all be dependent on your particular trailer. Of course, the center cap on the wheel needs to be removed to fit. This mod will save you having to linish out the inner of the mag. I would also suggest that you use a centric ring in the wheel (this is not a wheel spacer) if your using standard the standard lug nuts to minimise side loading on the studs and keep axial runout within specs.
