Just get a set of 10 holes, they are not the lightest (or best looking) but can be had for almost nothing, the gain from tacktion will be alot more than the weight savings. Otherwise keep checking on ebay.

Come on you can't an hour to run to a boneyard? Check around with some of your local Stang guys, guys around here are literally giving them away.

You will DEF need a wheel spacer and yes, flip or remove the quad shock. Just go with 275's they fit with no wheel spacer.
