I think he is talking about changing the wheels, not the hubs. You can get a wheel or machine shop to redrill your wheels. I'm not so sure it is a great idea but people have done it. It will all depend on your wheel design and how good the machine shop is.

good luck

Alot of people like to use conversion adapters. I don't suggest using them because they put unnecessary stress on your studs. Some people swear by them though. They come in 2 forms billet and cast. DO NOT the cast adapters. They are very heavy and are not very strong. We sell them at my work and I've seen cast ones come back with hairline fractures in them. If they break your wheel is going to pass you down the street.
