Not personally but I have heard it tried, from what I understand it didn't turn out well. But I did make him a heck of a deal on the new rims :)

It can be done by a good machine shop. Had a set of wheels re-drilled for a nissan pick up once. Was about $100 for all four. Lots of the custom import truck guys do it, and I nor many of them have ever had a problem.

Mostly on road, it doesn't leave the road often and its gotta get me down the snow covered lane to the hard road in winter.
