Viggen wheels, bearings and brake rotors on a 9000

A warning up front; I'm between projects right now and this thought is partially bred from boredom.
My 97 9000 has an Abbott 308mm brake kit. A pretty slick piece of engineering that includes, among other things, the 308mm front rotors from a Viggen. As 9000s have a 4 bolt wheel pattern, the 5 holes on the Viggen rotors are plugged and 4 new holes bored in the appropriate places.
I got to thinking that an alternative to modifying the Viggen rotors is to change the 9000 to the 5 bolt Viggen pattern. This assumes that I am willing to change the wheels, but wheel selections for the 9000 have always been sort of limited, so I look at that as a plus.
A few questions;
First things first, what is the wheel offset for Viggen/9-5 Aero wheels?
There is a remote, but finite chance that the Viggen bearings/hub work in a 9000. I've never seen a Viggen with the wheels off, so do they use the same bearing/hub arrangement as a 9000?
Finally, I will have to do something about the rear disc rotors. I could just plug and drill the 9000 rotors. After all, they last forever, but does anyone know the diameter of the rear rotors for a Viggen/9-5 Aero?
Thanks
