rear rotors

i have this idea to take the superduty rear brakes, parking included and graft it on to my 97 OBS. my question is that i can only find 8 on 6.5" rotors in a chevy hub size and the stering 10.25 needs at least 5" of opening at the center of the rotor. can i grind the rotor opening without affecting the metal's strength? or am i stuck doing the stright disc swap without any parking brake. i don't like the eldorado calipers.

If all your other dimensions are right, why not just slot the lug holes in the SD rotors?

well, my brother gave me a great idea to use 2002 e350 rotors and the dimmensions work with what i got. So now all i got to do is wait for some money to come in and go from there.
