U-joint adapter, probably massage the tunnel to get it to fit. A rim with the correct offset (I'm not exactly sure if you'll have any clearance issues with the narrowing and stock components or what all needs to be done there).

Easiest thing to do is not buy a diff for $500.00 that does not fit your car. For a little bit more money you can get the right housing that will work with all the ABS, TCS, is the correct width. SOunds to me like you are going to buy a headache to just save a few bucks. Not worth it!

x2, if its not set up its going to be hell to get it right. If it were narrowed 1" each side or even 3" total (1.5" per side) it wouldnt be so bad but with it narrowed that much im sure your wheel selection would be pretty limited.

I looked into trying to save money by looking for something like that before I bought my 9" but instead I bought one ready to go from Midwest, all I did was press the bearings on the axles and install was a breeze!
