as stated above due to the 4x4 stuff being vented(so thicker than 2w/d)

no and no
the disc is vented on the 4wd cars so the bracket needs to be wider to accomodate this
the caliper will also need to be wider to fit over the disc properly

so, to reiterat, no and no

how do you mean?
aftermarket vented discs will be the same dimensions (20mm width i think) so oyu've still got the problem of how to get a 20mm disc into a 0mm slot on the non vented caliper

if you fit a front disc set up to the rears (like some people do) then you would have to get a custom bracket made up to bolt to the rear end so that you could bolt the front calipers to it etc etc
