Fitting the wheelwells is not an issue, just keep the right offset. The 
problem is simply that you cannot just use a spacer (see 
http://www.performancewheel.com/Spacers.cfm?OrderStatus=7 ) - the 
modification would require a new axle shaft and brakes and is not trivial.

Why not simply find some wheels for a car with the same 4x4.5" bolt circle.

On a side note, I used to seriously autocross a V-8 Sunbird with 4x4" 
wheels. Never had any problem other than I used to crack the right front 
wheel (13x6 Vega GT) more often than not so had to check after every run.. 
Fortunately, at the time they were both plentiful and cheap.
