5 stud rear to 4 stud

[paul20v 0]

hi

strange i know but will i have any issues putting a 16v/g60 rear axle on a vr6 ,

why you ask i want 9x16 on the rear and i will surely have less arch mods with a 4 stud axle ,

or is this not a worth while mod as i dont know how much difference there actually is

any help or ridicule welcome :D

Its the discs that determine the stud pattern,so the stubs are all the same bar the width of the axel,so swap away!

i thought is was just the discs to do the studs as there as one hub and disc ,

is there any axle mount issues

and what the width difference in axles

The axel mount the same to the body,the stub axels are the same bar the early i think had no abs sensor holders,but it does not matter as you can just fit over your stuff to the narrow aexl.

 

width? i dont know mate.

 

But its something like 10mm either side wider on the VR

Thanks for the info mate ,

10mm per side is well worth the mod i think as that will make the et from 15 to 25 which is great

thanks for the info

now all i have todo is hunt for a g60 or 16v axle :)

so it looks like i can use the rear beam off a mk2 golf as well but i will have to use the chassis mount plates to as the bushes are smaller .
