    e30 M3 Wheel Bearings

    Does the M3 wheel bearing work with a non-M3's? I've been thinking about ways of getting to a 5 lug configuration and the front bearings are the entire hub. If this can be replaced with M3 bearings, you're half way there. Anyone tried this?

    I *think* they have different diameters...? therefore, they wont fit in a non-m hub
    Below the radar...

      Yeah, if I'm not mistaken, the wheel bearings are the same as an e28 and won't swap in.

        You got it; for the fronts. For the rears, the bearing is the same; the hub is a seperate piece in the rear.
