It looks like they should.

I had thought they were 420 MM, if they are the same size not sure it's worth the extra $. Does the scalloping do anything to enhance stopping performance?

I really doubt hub centers, caliper mounts and hub depth are the same.

Nope. Just weight savings.

Personally wouldn't mess with the OEM set-up as it's more than adequate for all non-race day efforts.

Hmmm Bigglezworth, I thought you posted previously in another thread about fitting some Lambo rotors onto one of your beasts, no?
