Vintage Wheels has a variety of bolt-on and pin-drive wheels to fit 5 x 5.0" bolt circle, and they'll make them with custom offsets, and it seems they offer the AR wheels above, along with others. Vintage Wheels, Mustang, Hot Rod and Muscle Car


As to whether your control arms are parallel to the ground, as soon as you're in compression or rebound that's all going to change anyway. For autocross and other track use I'd focus on ride height and corner balancing as a higher priority than control arm parallelism. Don't forget to get a full alignment once you've set the ride height and corner-balanced the car.
Thanks Brian! I'll check out those two sites. I corner weighed the car first thing. It is very close to a perfect 50/50 weight distribution.
