Can't i use offset eyeballs and 96+ mount and switch them around to give me the negative cambers i need?
i've never seen anyone try the combo of parts you have listed here, but it sounds like you're set on using it. good luck

Ok, so i am starting my 5 lugs swap now and will be doing my own research along with what others on this and other forums have done for references. These are the parts list i have now.
Front:
Complete 1998 e36 M3 front end
96+ Control arms
e30 M3 offset bushings
Using e36 M3 H&R race springs
E30 strut mounts
e90 top hat
Stock steering rack with stock tie rods (until i find a z3 rack)
Rears:
08/1999 Z3 Roadster (non M)
z3 3.46 LSD diff
z3 Trailing Arms
Z3 96mm half shafts
e30 diff flanges
z3 hubs
e23 740i caliper brackets
e23 735i calipers
e23 735i rotors (302mm)
With this setup my brake bias will be within specs of M3 brakes for front/rears!!??
Also, i know z3 hubs stick out an additional +20mm added to the current +23mm= +43mm offset, so i would need to run high offset wheels in the back, right??
I planning to some Ronals BBS et35 / 16x7 with 225/45/16 all 4 corners? Any thoughts?Last edited by e30mpg; 12-26-2012, 07:55 AM.

these could save you the cost of camber plates for now. or just use harware that you have laying aorund.
yes, thank you for the info.

Originally posted by dk View Posti have BFG KDW in that size. looks good and fantastic amount of grip for the price.
also, rereading above- you are going to *need*, not want, front camber plates (and no, those half-degree "offset" strut mounts are not going to cut it). something with a considerable range of adjustment. i am using the vorshlag plates in my setup and i can't get as much negative camber as i'd like.

why the incorrect tire size? 225/45-16 is closest match to OEM rolling diameter, and if you're worried about clearance, you shouldn't be going larger.

Intro
Hello guys and gals, im new here and i hope to learn alot about my e30 from you guys. I've had e36/e39/e46M before and this will be my first e30.
As always maintenances is first and along with that (suspensions) i would like to consider doing an all around 5 lugs swap. From what i gather from all the resources i've read, i've need (keeping it simple too)
Front:
96+ e36M spindles
E36M hubs
M3 Bilstein struts
E30 springs/top mounts
E30 offset bushings
Rears:
E36 318ti TA's
E36 Z3 I6 Brakes/calipers
318ti rotors
Does this seem like a pretty complete lists as to what i need for my 5 lugs? thanks and here she is.\
Got everything done with alignment specsLast edited by e30mpg; 02-05-2013, 04:30 PM.Tags: None
