Yeah, but if you have Nissan pattern, you are also the same as Ford, Mitsubishi & Toyota. Commodore is prolific, but can it beat these four.

Plus if you are thinking second hand, in my opinion the best vehicles to get wheels from are Skylines & Supra's...both came standard with 8" on front and 9" on the rear. Also not unusual to see 9" and 10" rims on these.

We bought 2 x sets of rims for our Harrison. Both 2nd hand. Nissan 17x8,17x9 & Toyota 16x8,16x9(standard Supra).

Mike, wouldn't Nissan pattern be the better choice?

Also keep in mind, that even though the stud pattern is the same, the wheel stud threads are not. So you've got to get the right wheel nuts. e.g. Ford wheel nuts do not fit Nissan.
