Default Gladius front wheel in GSXR forks

Need a bit of help if anyone knows, I've just bought a gladius and a set of GSXR forks with the radially mounted Tokico calipers. But rather than fitting the 3 spoke front wheel i wanted it to match the back, so firstly can i fit GSXR discs and space them out from the hub faces to suit the calipers or am i better trying to fit an R6 front wheel that looks similar as I've heard this is possible.

I also have my own fabrication and machining business so modifying spacers etc is not an issue

Thanks
Dave

You've almost answered your own question. Not many Gladys on here, let alone modified.

There's few swaps been done on SvRider, so check out the info there.

Someone with a bit more technical know how will answer your post on here

Will do, I'm trying to build a mini twin style bike for the road with gsxr fairings or something similar so by the time I'm done I should have come across a few more problems which I will post answers too.
