Redrill the rotors and make a ring to bolt the caliper bracket to, and weld it on.

best bet is weld on caliper brackets from ballistic, k20 calipers, and ford/dodge front rotors. did it on mine and works great.

ok cool thanks guys...

So I have a ford 9" 28 spline that I got for super cheap and ford explorer disks off a 8.8. Does anyone have an idea what rotor I could use for a 6 on 5.5 bolt pattern and fit?
thanks

I hope your not putting the 28 spline 9 inch with the 42 inch pitbulls in your sig.
