Thread lift!
I've been working on this mod for a while and here are my findings:
406 knuckles will widen the track about 7mm
406 knuckles have about one degree smaller angle between the wheel mounting surface and the strut (i.e. less camber)
Even though the distance between the caliper mounting holes is the same, they are roughly 10mm further out from wheel center meaning a a 20mm larger disc is required.
Hubs seem similar enough, the splines match perfectly with 306 driveshafts, I haven't done any measuring on them yet though
And as noted previously the ball joint solution is different.
Now all i need to test if my 807/C8 Brembo's will fit in the 16" wheels I've got, if not, i'll scrap this idea (my goal was to make a longer ball joint to correct the wishbone angle after lowering)
