I dunno ... never seen it attempted.

Most want the larger rotors to go with those upgraded calipers.

no dude.... just go get a spindle it will help you in the long run makes the swap 10X easier plus some weight reduction

To do the swap the knuckles must be swapped. If you do the ctsv swap you have to mod the knuckle.
