E36 non M3 CA 5 lug??

[winfred]

those likely won't have the mounting points for the swaybar, they only did that on the early cars for some reason, but it came back with the m3

I was wondering the same thing as I have a full susp off a 94 325is 8)

Guys i also need some help with my 5 lug conversion.
I have 1997 M3 lower control arms, some random (Noltec maybe) offset castor bushes, and 325i hubs/knuckles (non M), wheels are 17x8 BBS RC with 215/40/17 tyres. It still sits too far back in the wheel well compared to others i have seen on here.... Looking at the pic of the offset bushes, they don't seem to have alot of 'offset' compared to some. Can anyone recomend what bushes have the most offset without going to THR lollipops? What brand bushes are others using? I think even the factory E30 M3 ones look more offset than mine.

Do the M3 knuckles have any more caster built into them compared to non M (I see above they may have more camber, but i can fix that easy with shims).

Pics attached.

Did you figure out your problem yet? I just got my 5 lugger done and have the same issue as you up front. E36 non-M knuckles with M struts, M lower arms, and factory offset bushings, and my tire is still a bit farther back than what i see on other peoples swaps.

Mine is all done, and i figure it may sit 8-10mm back from centre now with OEM M3 caster bushes. You cannot tell unless you are looking for it.
