    E30 M3 hubs vs. E36 Ti hubs.

    E30 M3 rear hubs do fit to E30 325i rear arm.
    E36 ti rear hubs do fit to E30 325i rear arm.

    E30 M3 rear hubs will come some 5mm outer than 325i hubs.
    What "offset" do e36 ti hubs have compared to 325i original and E30 M3 hubs?

    Can E30 325i dics be machined to E36 rear hub?

        You got private message.

        OT BS:

        I have 2,3l M10 stroker on my e30.
        I Also have old e12 520i/4 M10b20 engine with some mods in my facelift e30.

        And either of those cars is driveable at the moment.

          If you can find m3 hubs put them in your trailing arms with the m3 wheelbearings. They will fit 318s also. Dont fuck with the e36 ti shit. You will have to use ti brakes, no ifs, ands or buts about it! go m3 or go home.

            M3 rear wheel bearings are the same. Only the hub and brakes are different.

              Using e30 m3 hubs will put rear tyres 5mm outer, which is going to be a problem.

              So I really can't use e36 ti hubs and brakes with e30 triling arm?

              If I'd be using whole e36 ti trailing arms would the tyre be as out as with e30 m3 arms/hubs?

              And btw I'm using 325i arms & brakes now.

                Im going to be doing a 5 lug swap aswell but it will be with 318ti front calipers and hubs with m3 rear calipers/hubs... is that stupid? I already have the 318ti stuff minus rotors *calipers, hubs, pads* how is the offset of the ti in the front compared with just going with m3 stuff? I have the m3 calipers, just need the hubs/backing plates..any comments on my set-up?

                  i should have remembered that, oh well. bottom line is that the ti hub is too big.
