Ha Ha Ha I screwed up. Help

In my lust to actually stop my car when it is necessary, I screwed myself over. Now. Is there anything I can do to fix my problem without spending much more money? Here it is.... I have an 87 FC base model. I can barely stop, so I figured that since I need new brakes anyways, I might as well upgrade them. So I picked up a T2 brake system (front calipers/rotors, rear rotors) and was all happy and stuff when they arrived until I looked at a rotor. I completely forgot T2's are 5 lugs and my base model is a 4 lug. So. What am I to do??? Is there anything I can do short of finding spindles and axles to do a 5 lug conversion? Thanks

you can re-use your current axles so dont worry about those.
I don't think there is any shortcut around getting the correct hubs and spindles... yes its much more work then you initially thought but ya gotta do it.

Well, that does suck, but it'll have to do. Thanks.
