Some of us have been in this mess, were you find a really good deal on a 48H hub, or your only option is a 48H hub and you have a 36H rim. Eitherway, it is possible to lace these two together. I used this combo when riding a freecoaster. I didn't find any major flaws, but just check your spoke tension often. Sorry for the blurry photo, but it tells you all you need to know:

So, just get an outbound, and six holes to the left will be the inbound you need to cross together. There are going to be six missing holes on the hub's flange. Instead of the missing hole being an outbound spoke, the hole to the LEFT of the missing hole will be an outbound, and you continuing lacing it like that. Its fairly easy, just go and true it like you normally would. don't try to over think it, because that is when you will get confused.

Hope this helps.
