Nope, the bolt circles are different sizes. Yours has a 6.5" bolt circle and his has 170mm (6.69") bolt circle.

Probably not. You could with a cnc machine or if you're damn good with a mill. Here's the first ones that come up on ebay:4 x | 1.5" | 8x6.5 to 8x170 | 8Lug | 14x1.5 Studs | Wheel Adapter Spacer | eBay
Basically you need an adapter for 8x6.5 to 8x170. The width of the spacer is your choice.

Don't even go there.
It's bad enough that most commercially made adapters are utter junk, I can't imagine how unsafe home-made adapters would be.
Find a set of wheels that you like and that have the correct bolt pattern.

Arrowcraft is so far the only company that I know of that actually has lips on their machined steel adapters to index the wheel on the center hub. I've had a chance to see how they work (adapters plus the ten-lug adapters and 24.5 Alcoas on a truck almost identical to mine!), but I have to say, I'm not sure I would run them on my truck. Those big wheels/tires weigh quite a bit! By the way, these adapters are for dually conversions only.
Just some food for thought. YMMV.
