You need the wishbones to because ball joints are at a different angle IIRC

Will also give you 5 stud unless they are from a 4stud

Wishbones will make it widetrack and wheels will stick out further.

You can use mk3 hubs,whishbones etc to go wide track. But it a bit more than that.

Depends wether you want to stay 4 stud or go 5 stud.

Guide Here

I have a mk3 tdi subframe setup that i would sell, that would need carriers and discs to go widetrack and 280mm and stay 4 stud. Driveshaft may also be needed
