Only the 4-bolt SE rotors have enough meat on them to re-drill for a 5 lug setup.

I wouldn't even bother then.4x114 is still easy to get wheels for.
You could look at 4x108 mustang wheels. They fit just.
Or you could do a whole SE suspension swap.
Better off looking for mustang wheels.

It can be done, to answer your question. It is fairly easy, as long as you are not mechanically challenged. The most difficult parts is locating the donor car. All you need is the '84-85 GSL-SE complete, and I mean complete, suspension. Lots of folks, including myself, don't care to do the swap. Why spend the time and money to do the conversion when you can generally buy a good-to-great condition GSL-SE ready to be driven daily for less money than paying someone to do the swap. Depending on what model 12A chassis you are running, you may have to convert the entire rear axle from a GSL-SE, which would be better anyway. While you are at it, why swap the transmission, too. And the motor, too. I could go on and on for awhile about the conversion, but it generally is not monetarily a good decision. Plus, it will take a ton of your time, if you do the swap yourself.
As far as wheels for the 4x110mm bolt pattern, I have a set of 15x7 5-spokes that are quite nice. They are very similar to the ones Mazdatrix used to sell when they had some German company manufacture the wheels for them. I can get you a brand new set of these or a tuner-style for the same price. Tires are extra, of course, because the tire price will vary depending on what you want. Below is a link to my eBay auction for a set of these wheels. Let me know if you are interested.
