I looked at it with a fresh pair of eyes today and realized it could work if I put the rotor on from the back side. Since the rotor has threaded holes, im able to have the bolt heads towards the outside of the car. The hat clears the spindle by about 1/8 inch. There wouldnt be enough room for bolts if they had to come from the back side. This moved the rotor outboard by about 5/8". Now I have a little over an inch clearance on the lower balljoint too. The caliper adapter looks like it will need to be a 5/8x2x7.5 inch piece of metal that looks like it will be just a flat piece of metal, or really close to flat. Two holes will have to be drilled through for the steering arm bolts, and the 2 holes for the Mazda caliper will need to be tapped. If I would have realized this from the start, I wouldnt have needed to turn the hubs, except to true them up.
