i dunno, would need a widened holden diff. I have 15x10's with a 4" dish and they only just fit on a standard width holden diff. if they're 14x11's  they look like they have about a 2" dish, would hit the springs. A chev diff might fit, but i'd check the backspacing / offset before getting too excited

Hate to ask a really dumb Q but is there an easy way of telling what stud pattern I have?  I.e easier that taking it to a wheel joint and asking?

measure across the wheel studs, on a 5 stud measure across studs 1 and 3, this is the poor mans PCD. I think HQ holden was 120mm
There are so many people out there who will tell you that you can't. What you've got to do is turn around and say "watch me"

Holden HQ is 4.75" or 120.6mm
Holden commodore is 120mm
Ford is 4.5"
Beddy is 6" (which you could tell from a photo because its huge)

You could move the rear springs inward

There are a set of bedford stud pattern jelly bean mags at Centre Road Wreckers in springvale. I think they wanted $400 for the set of 5.
1976 SWB CF, 186 block, LPG customised VK EFI self ported Head, LPG converted Ram tube manifold, Extractors, Supra 5 speed, Falcon hwy Diff, HQ Disc brakes, Commodore 3 core cross-flow radiator, HEI, 90 litre LPG.
It can drive up a wall in 5th gear and across the Sun without overheating!
