What rims are you currently running? You would be best to have a spare with the same wheel nut taper. HT - HG and FE - HK are different believe it or not.

HR discs and calipers at the front?

The original rims will fit over LJ drums at the rear, but they're no good for the front. Best option is four HD/HR wheels. Torana rims have the wrong offset for HR discs, and they'll scrape on the tie rod end and upper ball joint.

But if you are running LC/LJ discs and calipers on HR stub axles, then you'll be OK with Torana rims all round.
