will g60 steering knuckles bolt up to my rocco1???



G60 wheels are 4-lug (though VR6 are 5-lug). But no,
the spindles will not bolt-up, and I agree that there
would be no performance advantage to doing so. Our
cars aren't heavy enough to need 5 lugs.

One thing I'm not sure of: I know the G60 axles are
the same as the 100mm axles on an A1, but I don't know
if the hubs/bearings are the same. If you wanted to go
with 5-lug wheels (which you might for cosmetic
reasons if your favorite wheel isn't available in
4x100 or something), could you use the VR6 hub in the
A1 spindle/bearing?
