5 lug swap question

[fiercee30]

i was wondering if i could use an e28 parts my E30 to make it a 5 lug swap ?

what do you have in mind and why?

[fiercee30]

i want to have more options for wheels and i know that E28 parts are interchangeable so i would like to make a 5 lug swap maybe for some BoRbets Ts

well, front spindles are completely different... calipers are on the wrong side, and the way everything mounts up is 100% different.

Rear is whole other world of completely. Hubs are inverted.

If you want to give this an effort and guinea pig for us, that would be great.

IIRC only the front e28 hubs/bearings will work on e30 M3 strut assemblies, but you have to change out the ABS rings for them to even work on a e30. They WILL NOT work on standard e30 strut housings...

Probably better off not trying to reinvent the wheel and do what has been tested and wrote about many times on this site...
