Not really suitable.

There will be 5mm less disc contact and it won't be wearing across the whole braking area.

If you use adapters then get a 180mm one.

😳

Excel is frying my brain today. What he said ^^^

Which discs have you got and thinking about? Still probably not suitable though as you don't really want a lip on the braking surface as your wheel/caliper won't line up the same every time.
