Default Re-Drill Front Hubs and Rotors

Im trying to get some weld pro stars to fit on my truck and a member here said he re-drilled his rotors and hubs. How would I do that? :help:

He probable had them re-drilled to a more common car size like Chevys 5 on 4 3/4" or 5 on 5 1/2"bolt circle. You have to take them to a machine shop to have it done.

come on guys, i would really like to do this on my truck too. So someone has got to tell us what to do. I would really like to go to a 15" wheel, there are so many more tires, for 15". Plus i think my truck would look killa with some drag stars.

I would be careful welding on the rotors... uneven heat would probably warp the **** out of them.
