Default 2'' wheel spacers for the street. need info and opinions

well i've been contimplating some ideas of what to do. first off, i have an 8.8 with the 10 bolt brackets welded onto it. it's 2'' narrower on each side than a 10 bolt(the 8.8 came out of an sn95 mustang). i'm thinking about using 2'' billet, hubcentric wheel spacers to retain my factory f-body size wheels on the back, but getting 2 15x10 wheels with a 5.5'' backspacing to mount slicks on anytime i race. i hate the idea of wheel spacers, but i think if i get a good quality set and get good ARP wheel studs for the back i should be fine since i'll only be using them on the street and not racing. what are you guy's thoughts on this? any help and direction as to what spacers, wheel studs and nuts to get would be greatly appreciated! thanks.

keep in mind, i wouldn't be using the spacers when i'm running the 15x10's when racing.
