    The rotors are already 1 piece from the factory.

    The rotors are one piece, the rotor and hat are cast as a unit.

    You are apparently thinking of a one piece hub and rotor combo like older American cars? I don't know of any setup like that for toyotas.

    What is the fitment you're trying to get? I'm guessing the caliper is in the way?

    Are you referring to the hub that rides on the spindle? That is not a part of the rotor.

    What wheel are you trying to fit, and what sort of fitment issues are you having?

    Yes im wanting to do away withthe hub. Its a drag truck. Right now ive got mustang spare wheels with pheonix racing front runners and on a 4 inch wheel they have a 3.5 backspace which finding a set of welds or something equivelent

    I see Weld Draglites and Pro Stars on Toyota pickups all the time. Most people seem to run 15x4 in the front when doing a skinnies/fatties setup like that.

    Unless you plan on re engineering the front suspension setup to find a different way to have the wheel and brake rotor mount to the truck, the hub has to stay.
