6 0n 6.5 wheel hubs?

Merry Christmas all.
I live in the land of trophy trucks and people with deep pockets. Southern California. Having neither of those I am able to buy used or new parts for them at good prices...Race take offs and new parts from sponsor changes etc. My predicament currently is this. I'm hoping to find a way to convert my 14 bolt and my hp 60 (8 on 6.5) to trophy truck (6 on 6.5) wheel patterns without getting too spendy. Ive looked into adapters but the thickness of them and the potential for failure doesn't make them all that desirable. Ive got a few ideas but none that I love. Anybody else? Ive said before the tech here is unmatched so if it can be done im sure somebody here knows a way. Thanks in advance.

Re:

I'd redrill the hub/rotor. There will be a few holes that interfere.

You could buy the 6x5.5 hubs for them and redrill to 6x6.5. That's more $$ though.

I cut out of the center of a rotor to get an accurate 5 x 5.5 pattern and used it as a template to redrill Dana 60 front hubs.
Use mild steel rod stock to plug lug holes instead of using lugs. Lugs are way to hard to drill by hand. The drill bit will be pushed away from the hard steel.

sometimes the free or good deal parts end up costing you the most.

leave the 6x6.5 wheels for the TTs
