Im doing a 155 skid in 159 track . There are goods and bads to doing this up side you get better track angle to the skid . Down side is the more back you move it the worse the suspenion geomerty gets . So keep the sizes close and it can be a good thing.

Don't move the skid back, just use extensions.

Oh i dont know what wheels to tell you they are all pricy . Plastic is cheeper. Tipped rails is your choice if you ride trails a lot they turn easer but that is arguabel . Just use what you can find cheep. And let us know how it goes.
