 ;)Im just about sure you wont find em in EH stud pattern,the most common stud pattern is commodore or falcon,which means redrilling your stubs or discs to suit!!and i reakon you will be pushing to get a set of 16,inch for under $1500,cause the rubber cost nearly that much!!i would suggest keeping your eyes open on EBAY or the TRADING POST,if you change your stud pattern it also opens up a much larger range of rims,that way you could fit 17-18inch rims if you like!!!but beware that the larger the rim,the higher cost for rubber,EG,i put 235X18 bridgestone potenzas and  they were about $325 a tire!!! ;)

just another question sorry, what about the dragways, like the 5 spokes and draglites, they come in the right stud pattern dont they?
what would i have to do to get the right stud pattern on an EH, how much modding is there?

Are you talking stud patterns Spinner?

If so, from my experience the following is also true.

Early BMW=Volvo=Early Holden to HG, Torana

watch those offsets though

what do you mean by offsets? is there an actual name for the stud pattern for recognizing it?

cheers
