Nice choice for a car!
I think you will need to do a bit of measuring. The brakes you have chosen (same ones I'm running) require quite a bit of space (look at the Corvette wheels) so I am not sure you will be able to get a lot of lip. To run Corvette wheels I will need to run a spacer somewhere around 1-1/2 to 2 inches, so I would guess that is the most you can narrow each side.
As for the shocks, I think you will run into a bit of trouble there, there isn't much room between the axle flange and the shock mounts.
My suggestion is to mock up the brakes and measure.
Now, post some pictures of that 442!
Shiny Side Up!
