Hybrid help

hi peeps, need help with a fire blade I’m working on, I need to know if the front discs from a ‘Bird’ will fit the front wheel of a 1996 VFR750. It’s for a 17” wheel conversion, I need bigger offset than stock VFR and ‘Bird’ discs seem to have that. But bolt pattern may be different. Does anyone have an old set from mot failure or similar. Or could I borrow a set, I will of course pay any postage and return them. I live in Essex.
Tks.

I believe I have some that you can borrow... What model do you think would fit, carb or EFI ?

I read an old post from US that said 98 model, I assume they mean carb version, I did see a carb model and they looked v.similar.
Couldn’t really whip them off his bike as he’s the local motorcycle test examiner
