Will look a bit goofy, but won't cause you any problems.

You'll need wheel spacers if you're keeping the factory rims

1.5" seems to be the general advice. I'm currently doing exactly what you are planning, until my tires are mounted. and I have had no issues with using 1.5" spacers.

Seeing as how you're a 2dr you should probably get a rear drive shaft as well, as far as what else you will need it depends on how complete your lift kit is, you'll need longer sway bar links possibly extended brake lines, and front lower control arms & rear uppers
