There is an old post from Tanart (now locked) on this subject. Just wondering which option you went for Tanart, HQ salisbury which is about 25 mm wider than HK,T,G or VK salisbury which is about 25mm narrower.

So, did you change the stud pattern by having axles redrilled or leave as is? Any issues with the extra width, like tyres rubbing on guards?

Left the stud pattern HQ and converted the front the HQ as well. (rotors and calipers)
6" and 7" wide HQ rims will fit no worries. If you go 8 inch or wider you will need to have the offset of the rims adjusted, or else they will rub.

Thanks for that. Now I'm inquisitive about HQ rotors & calipers on the front. Anything special with that, or is it all just "bolt up"?

HQ discs will bolt straight onto the HT stubs. As will HQ-WB calipers, but you have to swap them side to side so that the bleed nipples are at the top.

Hi,
Just thought you may like to know that HZ & WB disc brake axles are shorter on the wheel end to allow for the very thick disc they used.
If you can find the right backing plate and drum combination, or Commodore discs, you would end up with a wheel track up to 40 mm shorter than standard a HQ - HZ.
Hope that helps, Mike
