Changing over a 4 lug rotor/drum to a 5 lug

Has anyone seen, done or heard of anyone successfully swapping over a rotor and drum with matching 5-lug pattern from another car?

Some of the ideal choices in rims are 5 lug. :(

I would assume the hardest to swap would be the rear axle if one intends to retain the original brakes.

The front would just require a new rotor with a 5-lug pattern.

However, if Plasmaboy is correct in saying that the Aussie Pintara is direct swap with minor modification and after I find out if the Stanza is the sister car to the Pintara then there might be a 5-lug rotor swap possibly too.

Anyone got any hints or clues on this?

The only conversions that I have seen used adaptors. Not idea. The rear is not that bad. Get a Mustang rear end assembly and it is a 5 on 4.5" bolt circle. The difficulty is finding a 5 lug hub. If you can confirm that conversion, I would be most happy!
