For quarter panels, check out www.c2cfabrication.com. Good pricing, good sheet metal (not the typical thin aftermarket stuff) and fast shipping. Searching on website is a little clumsy, but product is there. Fit up is great also.

Yeah I would go with the 4.56s. Same price so might as well. Even if you don't go with 315s, 4.56 still work well with 285s, especially while towing. My gas mileage was crap before I switched gears. Your tranny will thank you as well.
