Doing a search for 5 lug brake conversion might give you some info,but to answer your question,yes people have done this but "I believe" you need to change hubs with 5 lugs,rotors for 5 lug hubs,calipers with 4 pistons and possibly the flexible brake hoses. It's not really a simple mod but it can be done.

4 pots are 5 lug
rotor is not the same size on 4 lug.
in other words you need to swap to 5 lug or redrill the new rotors for 4 lug

for parts and procedure, search

The 4-piston caliper will bolt on to the spindle, but it won't line up properly to the single piston rotor in the sense of pad placement.

Thank you all for clearing that up for me. Looks like im stuck with single pistons due to the fact that i have brand new four lug wheels.
