Question I have and after quickly reading the thread and not seeing pictures of these special wheels is what do the wheels you want on your car look like. I have a shop I use when I rebuild Speedline wheels that will fill and drill your centers to change the bolt pattern. Usually when I do this it is to change the manufactured offset so I can use a special high offset center and turn into a lower offset front center.
I did a special set of Speedline Alessio wheels that I wanted to make them look RUF like so I removed the raised portion off each spoke (on the sides of the paddles) then the wheels originally have an elongated lug nut area that not everyone likes the look of, so I had the entire hole welded shut changed the offset and then drilled a single traditional round hole. I am attaching before and after pictures.

They look awesome! Did you change the PCD on those as well? When you say you changed the offset, did you achieve this by skimming some meat off the backs? Also, are your backs solid flat? If you don't mind me asking, what sort of price do you pay for this work?

If the PCD change falls through do you think you could squeeze on a 13mm PCD adapter?
It all depends on how much of a dish are you looking for.
I know you're thinking about dropping the fronts down to 8J with a smaller lip, by loosing the 0.5" it may work?
If it comes down to it could you swap the front lips for the rears, giving you a better chance at fitting those rears?
