But on the rear, I'd need a specific IS to Flat Mount adaptor. And it looks like the only ones available require a 160 rotor.
In which case, I should probably go to a 160 in the front. And, upon specifying that I want a 160 in the front, the new group would come with the appropriate adaptor.
Do I have that right?

I think you've got it now.

Yes. Front flatmount adapter is reversible (one side allows 160mm rotors, the other 140mm rotors).

Thanks for all the help everyone.

You will see that they supply information and a little template to check whether this solution will work for your frame. Differing dropout shapes dictate whether this solution will have the proper amount of clearance.

Edit: I see that herb5998 beat me to it....I was too slowing with the typing fingers this morning

Cool that they offer the template as a guide as to whether it might work.
