question on machining a chevy rotor

I'm going to be doing a rear disc brake conversion, and currently working on writing a cnc program for milling out the centers. i won't be able to get the rotors until next weekend. i was wondering if anyone knew the stock chevy rotor center diameter before machining. any help would be appreciated!

i'll x3 that also. i figured that if i didn't get an answer here then i would call a junk yard for dimensions. since i was already on here i posted it anyway. got answer from a chevy guy. i will only need to mill .022 off the center. thanx for the suggestions though

Not sure on the size of the chevy, but it needs to be enlarged to 4.20" for a Landcruiser axle. Is it the same for a mini swap? Can you do more?
