my 5 lug

[xLibelle]

im just making sleeves for me, and making my brakes fit...i dont really want to to the r&d with a cheap brake setup

seriously, dont waste your time with brakes. get those adapters made and the rest of the needed hardware will follow.

Hey man...sorry I didn't catch that (good catch,xlibelle) I though you were trying to basically bring a 5 lug/BBK system to R3Vmarket.

What needs to be done about the dust shield?

OK, so if I read the translated German correctly, E34 540i saddles and calipers fit the E30M3 using 300mm X 28MM disks. Do you know if the E30M3 sadddles are the same spacing as the standard E30?

If by the spacing you mean the distance between the bolts that attach carrier to strut, no.

Suitable adapters fo e30 strut and e35 540i carrier are available from www.300mm.de.

MB W124 500e brake discs can be mated to e36 or e28 hub with some machining.

omg why didnt i see this before id be so down, like extra extra down for this too.

[Karlspackler]

so how much for a set of 4?

[Mr Deagle]

im only making the parts to adapt front hubs to e30 struts


its a set of two

unless you have 2 e30's

you need e36 or e46 front hubs

[asubimmer]

why not the rear's too?

[DEV0 E30]

why not the rear's too?

E30 M3 hubs bolt directly to your trailing arms.

[Mr Deagle]

I also belive early z3 stuff bolts on, and 318ti also bolts on to the rear (for a cheaper alternitive)

and e36 and e46 rears would work too, but i havent looked into that

A set of 2? So 1 for each wheel correct??? 2 in each set?

What you should do Mr Deagle is put together a laundry list of what we need for us people who are not in the know that way we know what to buy.

I will buy your "spacers" ASAP if you get me the list

[Mr Deagle]

I dont know what to do about brakes right now, i can only provide for the 5 lug


for the front, you need

my spacers

and e36/e46 front hubs


for the rear (im not sure right now)

318ti rear hubs and brake discs (that should give a working brake setup in the rear)

but dont go out buying stuff right now

Interesting. So you cannot use one of your spacers in the rear?

you are missing the main thing


E30 E36 and E46 all share the same rear wheel bearings, hence 5 lug rear hubs from an e36 or e46 will fit with the correct axles, no spacer is nessicary

Ahh ... IC. I can turn wrenches but stuff just needs to be spelled out for me. Thanks :drink:

[Mr Deagle]

its all good


and i might be making splined spacers to fit z3m coupe rear hubs onto factory e30 driveshafts
