Hi Mark

Check out the wheels section in Wiki above............if the PCD is correct you may need spacers.

As above, check the wiki; "cheap fix" - spacers will be cheaper than new brakes!
Get decent extended studs from Brickwerks, they do spacers too

You can make caps that fit over the grease cap, or you can get shallower grease caps or you can follow the good advice from Andy
