On my SHO, the studs are not firmly attached to the rotors. They are kinda press fit into the hubs. You would have to redrill the hubs too.

You put a new pattern in between the original one. Then swap the studs
to the new pattern. If the rotor is beefy enough, you shouldn't have a
strength issue. In theory, you could adopt just about any pattern.
