From my understanding, the control arms are the same an the upper strut mount is the same, indicating that the only differences lie in the knuckle and hub, and therefore strut/coilover lower mounting point and brake rotor. I believe '05-06 control arms can be swapped in using 5x100 knuckles, hubs, brakes.

Nonetheless, I'm planning on using rear camber plates and lateral links to set camber allowing for more tire clearance as when I test fit 18x9.5 +35 grids on 245/40/18 I needed a 5pm spacer to clear thereat strut (thanks Sam!). The rear will be at 18x9.5 +33 final as I'll still use the 5pm spacer to closer match the front which will be at +30 for brake clearance.

Inboard clearances should be fine considering the final offsets after spacers.
