Yeah sure, just swap the hubs left to right etc, but then you see the inside of the callipers, so you’ll have to swap them back again..

Interested in learning if Singapore insurance regulations restrict non-OEM modifications to critical components. In some countries, insurance companies inspect vehicles after an accident to learn if the vehicle safety could have been compromised by non-OEM modifications.

Suggest to explore.
