Aspire parts for a 5 lug?? Did he plan on trying to adapt a 5 lug hub into the aspire knuckle?
I want to get my hands on BJ knuckles and do some comparisons to see if they can be made to work
1988 323 Station Wagon - KLG4 swapped
1988 323 GT - B6T Powered
2008 Ford Escape - Rollover Survivor
1990 Festiva - First Ever Completed KLZE swap (SOLD)
If no one from the future stops you from doing it, how bad of a decision can it really be?

I've already done some comparisons of a couple different knuckles.
BF hubs = wheel bearing I.D. 38mm, 24 spline, and come in 4x100 or 4x114
BG hubs = wheel bearing I.D. 40mm, 26 spline, and come with 4x100
BJ hubs = wheel bearing I.D. 40mm, 26 spline, and come in 4x100 or 5x114
Here's a pic comparing a bf, bg, and bj knuckle.
From the pic you can see that the bj's lower balljoint, hub, and strut mount aren't inline because the bj chassis is actually based off the ge platform(2nd gen probe/mx6) but it uses the smaller bearing and 26 spline hubs like the bg's.
