just get them redrilled it would be easier. or you can get a yota rear end. For the front I heard you can use astro van hubs I believe not 100%.

You cant just swap the Mazda hubs out for the Aerostars. There is some fabrication involved.

Toyota parts all around or redrill.

From information on the web. Yes you can make it work. The bearings are NOT the same size and you will need custom bearings for it to work right. And you have to cut the caliper or caliper bracket somehow. You'd probably come out cheaper by having them redrilled. I think you have have the fronts done for around $200 or less? Id assume the same for the rear.

Blast, when you have your hubs redrilled, the existing holes are plug welded up and new holes are drilled. So no, it would not make them weaker.
