Look into a Mustang 8.8. That might work.

The Mustang appears to be 60.75 which is a little wider than I have now.  Looking at it last night though it appears there is more room to go wider than there is to go narrower so that may be an option

This is what I've been able to determine are options (all from the internet) unless other noted.

Hornet - 58.5"  (I measured 58 but it's hard to do in the car)

93-09 Ranger 58.5 Not centered
95-03 Explorer 59.81 but if you use two short side shafts and narrow one side it can be 56.75" and centered
86-93 Mustang 59.25 Centered but will have 4 bolt lug pattern
94-98 Mustang 60.75 Centered from Factory
99-04 Mustang 62.75 Centered from Factory

Your list looks right from what I remember. Keep in mind what wheel offset you want/need before buying anything. If you're wanting a stock or off the shelf wheel, that rear end width will come into play. If you want a wheel that is made to your specs, than it won't matter as much other than what the "look" will be. I went with a narrower rear so I could have a lot of dish showing on my wheels that I had made to my specs.
