What would be the problem with machining a new hub with a 5-lug bolt pattern? This seems like the easiest and most logical way to get the extra lug on each wheel. I have never researched this topic so flame away if I just asked a retarded question

Noob, has anyone tried making their own 5-lug hub?

I was just thinking about the same thing. I too thought about the fill and re-drill, but I don't think there is going to be enough material to make it structurally safe.
This might sound stupid, but has any one tried to use an e36 hub? I have no hands on knowledge, but it looks like it could work.

I tried once. All i had was some wood and hot glue. It worked for awhile.
I then did ask a machine shop. They owner drove an E36 and said hmmmmmsigpic"If one does not fail at times, then one has not challenged himself." -Ferdinand Porsche

Why wouldn't one be able to machine an E36 sized and styled hub to match to a standard E30 bearing? Better yet an E30 M3 sized and styled hub?1985 M10b18. 70maybewhpoffury. Over engineered S50b30 murica BBQ swap in progress.

The E30 and E36 use the same rear wheel bearing, I don't see why you wouldn't be able to use an E36 hub in an E30 trailing arm.

If you drive your e30 on stairs, you're gonna have a bad time.
