You need to determine how much further out you need to push the wheel outboard. If all you need is the bolt pattern conversion then you would want the thinnest one available to keep the wheel close to where it is now.
**If the hub studs protrude outside the adapter and prevent the wheels to sit flush on the adapter plates, it is required to shorten the factory studs. It happens most often on 1" thick adapters.

Your skinny's shouldn't be too hard to sell if they fit newer Mustangs.
Having the S10 rotors re drilled for the Ford pattern might be cheaper.
Aluminum wheel adaptors on a performance car just not a good idea.

I don't really have any clearance issues; my Vega's track width is 5" narrower than stock.
