i had great success w/ e36 5-lug 6+ years ago. Tracked the car heavily.
from memory.....
non-m e36 front kings
castor was 9.8, then modified to 9.0.
wheel was perfectly centered in e30 (non-m) arch. running 235/40/17 stickies w/o rubbing.
as far as knuckle differences.....
it appears the e36 kingpin is located to decrease castor.
stolen from somewhere here on the web. (ignore measurements shown.) notice location of lower ca mount vs hub center. looks to be about 10mm of difference.
i mis-spoke..... while there is a difference, the e36m appears to create greater castor.
please post some pics of what you've got.
interested to see your castor specs. easiest way to fix castor is on the top side. my first time, i modified e36m upper bearing caps.
