Didn't know they were interchangable - does it keep the wheel in the same place or push it out further to give you more girth ( I mean width but really wanted to use the word girth for some reason).

i did not know either until i took one of the jimny cus i sheared the fwh bolts & thought it would be easyer to use the bench drill to try drill the bolts out & i had some vitara hubs in the garage so i compared them & the only differance i could see was on the back where the seal is for the vacume hubs but don't need that seal now so its all good.

they are the same size so the wheel stays in the same place as it did & you dont need a special tool to change the bearing either so thats another bonus
