No is right, you would need a good machine shop to make 4 new holes at the right diameter and even then in the front there is no clearance for the post-88 calipers so you would need a spacer. That will change the offset, which may make the car behave a little different and the tire may rub in hard corners. A machining teacher, friend of mine tried it for fun, and for free but I would not recommend it. Also it looks bad with those extra holes. Sell the Shelby wheels and look for a set of 16 inch, 6 1/2 wide rims meant for a 9000 and you will have great handling and looks.
Good luck.
