And just in case you were wondering, you get the parts from an E30 M3.
Also, please don't post thread titles in all caps.

Not a lot of people here have done it. Try doing a search. And as far as wheels and tires, you can use the same tires as you would with 4-lug wheels, and pretty much most RWD 5-lug wheels.
Settle down a little bit, and put a little detail into your questions, you will get much better results. Besides, I'm just screwin' with you. :up:

Relating to the subject - If I ever did a 5-lug swap - it would be for the braking power as well - not just to have better wheel selection. Thefore, they would most likely be E36 M3 brakes or brakes from the 318ti. Wouldn't happen for a long time though. Those brakes would stop an E30 so fast...! :twisted:- Sean Hayes

Why would u want to use Ti parts though?? Solid rotors all around? You do get the extra lug hole but not exactly much of an upgrade."I'd probably take the E30 M3 in this case just because I love that little car, and how tanky that inline 6 is." - thecj
