Rear lunchbox lockers tend to cause issues on slick surfaces like rain and snow. They can be unpredictable when turning. I imagine snow isn't a big worry for you in TX, but I don't know how much rain you get.

yes they will - i've seen people run those before.
You will have to use a dremel or file to open up the center hole a little bit however

Terrible terrible terrible idea - especially if you're planning on making spacer discs instead of actual spacers with independent studs on them. Aftermarket spacers need to be make of high grade aluminum (6061-T6 minimum) and have their own set of studs to be safe, and even then they need to be constantly checked for damage and proper torque.
Do other drivers on the road a favor and buy the correct engineered wheel spacers
