Does anyone know? UKDM
I've had a look at the diagrams and they look the same except for the brake line brackets, which isn't a big deal. But if the sizes are different then the geometry will be wrong.
I know the hubs are different but I assume a five stud hub will fit ok as I think they use the same bearings.

Guess so - swapping 5th gen 5 stud hub into 4th gen is a common upgrade so should work the other way as well. Only thing to look out for would be driveshaft length as there is a small difference between 4th and 5th but you can prob use either...
