This hub shows where the original lugs are located. This modification could be done to REPU's and Mazda B2200 pick ups..

And the rotors have to be machined too right? I still wanna try figuring out if the hubs from a Rx7 FC would fit..

I think all you have to do is drill them and tap them for a new wheel stud.Is that what you did Ito?

I had my local machine shop do the hubs. some metal has to be removed from the center of the HUB. Then perfectly centered. At that point then you tap and drill.
