    Just hubs alone?? The splines in the hubs are different 2 gtt shaft's so you will need to use 172 shafts but then they are 2 long to fit a gtt with just a hub only change.

    The 172 hubs alon will widen the track about 20mm each side, you will also need to worry about how to amend the huge neg camber you have you created by fitting them, elongating holes is not enough.


    What reason are you wanting to do 172 hub change??

    As James has said, hubs, shafts and shockers. Then there is the suspension geometry to deal with. Scoff fitted 172 hubs a while back. There's a thread here:- https://www.rtoc.org/boards/showthrea...ght=stuff+2011

    You can fit the mk1 Clio 16v stub into the 172 hub and bearing.

    The splines on the Clio 16v stub match up to those on the 5 gtt outer CV joint.

    You'll still have the extra track width and associated neagative camber to deal with.
