Yes mate, I didnt use that link thou as I am running HQ up front.
Im positive the pcd for early holden is 5 x 4.25 (108mm) and HQ is 5 x 4.5, im sure someone will be able to confirm this.
Contact summit about differing widths and backspacing once the pcd is verified, they are pretty quick to answer and are helpful. Never had a problem with em.

as tayz said i went through summitracing.com(hell of alot cheaper tham anywhere in aus.) i got 15x6's all round
this is the pt number. 1 CLL-005603542 15X6 WHEEL $223.69 *Special Order*
although that price is wrong as i got them for US$179 each. freight is a bit of a killer US$225 but still works out cheaper and quicker delivery times than getting them from aus (well quicker for me anyway)
i have been dealing with mark as he is their international sales rep (sales ID46)
Mephious i am running the same as you HQ up the front
p.cd for HQ is 4.75 and the 6" width wheels have a 3.3/8th's backspacing
cheers
Jason
