The guy actually drilled out the hub, then pressed in new studs with the help of a 5-lug rotor.

For the rear, he just used Z32 hubs since he said something along the lines of the back surface not being flat.

All in all, you would just need the rears.

you made it seem like some sneaky conspiracy...

this trick has been around

I did this, and my machinist drilled the holes too large... the studs wobbled out after 100 miles, and locked up my whole rear wheel assembly.

i guess if you know what you are doing this would work fine. im going to school to be a machinist and im just going to say, from my limited knowledge, if you dont have any exerience with this do not do it! take it to a shop!

That is stupid, not to mention dangerous. Do it right or don't do it at all.
