Yeah, different stud patterns front and back are pretty normal on most Cobras.

Nissan stud pattern is basically the same as everything but Holden. So you can fit Nissan, Ford, Toyota & Mitsubishi 5 stud wheels.

As boxhead said, you will be ordering custom offset wheels, so getting different stud patterns will be no problem.

Best to ask Warwick Harrison about wheel offsets, he is the expert.

16" tyres really suck when it comes to tyre choices, especially wide tyre choices. Go with the 17" instead, you have endless choices. In 17", you also have some cheap wide tyres available. There is more than a couple of Harrisons rolling around with Sumitomo 315/35R17 tyres.

Plus the 17" wheels means you can upgrade your brakes down the track without worry of fouling with the wheels.

Note to Boxhead: If you are going to carry a spare make sure you can fit your rear tyre in the boot. The boot on our old Cobra would not close with the rear tyre in there, so needed to carry some tape(to stop marks) & a couple of ockey straps. It really depends how wide you go on the rear.
