changing bolt pattern

I'm building a Jeep Wrangler, currently I have a 2002 F250 front axle just about ready to go and I have a 2007 E350 full float rear axle available. The Sterling is too big to fit without cutting the back end up and moving the gas tank, and I'd rather not do that.

I'd like both front and rear wheels the same bolt pattern. So far it looks like the best option is to drill the rear hubs and rotors for 8x170, but I figured I'd post and see if someone knows if there are 8x6.5 hubs that will fit the front? Or is there a better option I'm overlooking?

There is a < $50 drill template that you can get to aid you in drilling 8x170 hubs to the 8 x 6.5 pattern. Also people who do it and sell the hubs on ebay

Thanks, I've got a drill template. I was hoping there was an option that didn't require modification of wear parts.
