    5 lug hub swap

    Ok, so I did a search and I found some stuff but here's my question.. I currently have fk coilovers but I don't want to ditch them for m3 suspension. Is there any way I can just swap the hubs onto my axels? Also, If anybody could post a couple pics of a non e30 m3 with style 5's I would appreciate that. Thanks!

    The rears are not an issue, just hard to get ahold of the rear m3 carriers anymore.

    The fronts, you cant just put the hub onto an e30 strut. Completely different sizes.

    Search for your own pics. Look for "style 5" in the members rides section.

      Solid advise.

        Thanks! so is the only way to get 5 lug is to use e30 m3 suspension stuff? That kinda sucks for me because I like my coils :(

          Or e36 stuff. But then you wont be able to run style 5's without a bit of fender attention.

              I thought Z3 stuff worked too?

              Well, posterity, you will never know what it cost us to preserve your freedom. I only hope that you will make a good use of it. If you do not, I shall repent in heaven that I ever took half the pains to preserve it.

                    it does, but Z3's are generally grouped into the e36 category.

                      Doing a 5 lug swap for cool rims is the wrong reason anyway.

                        doing 5-lug for cheaper/better brakes is a good reason:-D
