5 lug hub swap

[sean_rob]

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 :(

[Van Westervelt]

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

well that's it then. I guess i'm not doing the swap. I'll just have to find some nice 4x100 rims

I thought Z3 stuff worked too?

why can't you put your coilovers on m3 suspension?

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
