Yeah if as DD said that if your stud pattern matches, then it should be alright. Offset I find is something you don't really have to worry about as they have so many things out there to help with you fitting wheels. If the offset is too much of a positive value ie.+40(meaning your wheels will sit in more, as the mounting surface is further away from the center of the Rim)

Alls you need is spacers, they bring the wheel out more. If the wheels are less of a positive value they like +25 they will sit out more, which alls you need is a mate to help roll guards if you even need to do it, or put on some flares, in my opinion flares make a car look real mean (but depending on car, those SLR torana's looked bloody terrible with flares)

Cheers

I am quite sure that, the rule is the overall circumference of the wheel must be the same as the original tyres that were on a 1200 and with width it's about 1.5-2inches?? I could be wrong, I'm fitting 16x6.5's not really caring about legalities

Ok
Headunit: If you want options and VERY good sound quality go with Alpine, but Pioneer nowdays has become very very popular as they are starting to make their headunits advance with adding many options, JVC Are another brand resurfacing with some good units, I recommend if you have a computer and burner you need to get a MP3 player I fit about 200songs per CD :) DON'T go with sony explode, they are so not worth the money you pay, and their quality isn't as good as other unit, although if your on a tight budget go with them.

Front Stage: If you want Very good clarity and the feel for bass up the front, i would get component Splits (they cost a bit but yet are extremely good) Or to save a bit of money jusat go with splits, whats the difference you ask? Just the active crossover.
Or you could go with 6.5" coaxials still good speakers but unless your after perfect quality these don't match splits or component. Or you could try 6x9's, they are a good but haven't tried.

Amps are dear you could go with any brand they are all pretty much good, although Jaycar's RESPONSE amps are much cheeper and perform extremely well, so I went with them.

Subs, I don't know what you can fit,

regards
Damo
