Wider, as in "push the wheels out" wider or thicker?

Aren't they meant to be stronger? Seem-welded?

Wider, as in wheel out further type wider...but the 'Plus' geometry of the wishbone/hub meant it wasn't really wider. Just different.

no, they are not wider. all mk3s are widetrack regardless, even weedy little 1.4.

the differences are the anti roll bar mounting, and the ball joint fixing. the ball joint is also placed further forward on the 5 stud wishbone, so if you mix n match 4-5stud bones you'll throw out the castor
