Can I Get Rotors & Axles for a 90 GT in 5x130mm Bolt Pattern?

I have a 1990 GT Convertible. I have a set of wheels that came off another car. I am going to do the 5 lug conversion, which will give me 5x114.3mm. However, the wheels are 5x130mm, and I know backspacing is okay. Here are my questions -

1) Can I get rotors and/or rear axles for a 90 GT that have 5x130mm bolt pattern (instead of 5x114.3)?

2) I thought about wheel adapters, but I was told they will add another 1-1/4" to 1-1/2" on each side. Is this very noticeable. (I don't think it will work anyways as the wheels are 17x10 in the rear)

3) I have heard of places that can actually change the bolt pattern on wheels. Is this a good idea? Is it possible? Is it expensive? Is it safe?

If anyone has any other ideas, I'd really appreciate it. It would really be alot easier if I could just get the rotors and axles in 5x130mm.

Thanks for the help.

4.5 is 114.3mm. Too expensive to modify axles. Just get the proper wheels. Cheaper in the end and then you don't have some bastard mix.
