Fox body Mustang wheel: fitment attempt

As the subject says, I'm trying to get a turbine-style 15x7 wheel from a Fox-body Mustang to fit on a classic 900, in this case a 1994 turbo convertible. Although the bolt pattern matches, the hub bore (63.4 mm as compared to the Saab's 65.1mm) and offset (+22.4 mm) do not. The Mustang wheel's hub does have a sort of conical taper to it, but that isn't enough to accommodate the 900's hub. On top of that, although the Mustang wheel also has a conical seat, the 900's stock wheel bolts are too wide for the lug hole opening to seat properly. I've found sources for narrower wheel bolts that could more easily fit.
Has anyone here gotten Mustang wheels to work? I imagine there has to be some sort of modification made; the most proper way would probably be to bore out the hub to get it to seat properly. A thin (5mm or so) spacer could solve the hub issue but would make the offset issue worse.
