If yours is a 69 torsion front then rear wont be a problem..The front will be a problem unless you narrow your beam down 2 inches or so if you want to
run EMPI repro wheels etc.
.The other option is a set of wheels from Richard Holzl from VFORCE..His wheels are probably the best fitting aftermarket wheel without having to
narrow your front beam.Look up his details and give him a call,he's a wealth of knowledge.

I run a set of porsche boxter wheels on the convertable, 6 x 16, ET55 on the front with 195/50/16 and 7 x 16, ET40 on the rear with 225/55/16, do not
rub and clear the guards, i also run dropped spindles, if you do not have those it will still fit. you can pick these up very cheap on flea bay, do
not narrow the beam just get the wheels with the correct ET so the car will retain the factory geometry.

They are some of the best fitting wheels I know
I run them and love them
The V Force Spiders came in 20 and 36ET
You will have to pick them up 2nd hand - Richard doesnt do them any more

As Snitz said they are proper ATS rims.
The ROH copies (Bathurst globes and Performance Challangers) are fairly different in the flesh

You would extremely lucky to find a set of ATS Classics in Aus, you would probably have to get them from Europe, they are worth a mint as they sought
after
The proper ATS classics have an offset and witt made for bugs, 15x5.5 et25.
the Globes were made in the era of wide Carrera gaurds, 6" et6 are a lousy fit with stock guards.
Are your current ones rubbing?
