Will E36 Offset CABs work in E30?

[MarkH]

I ordered a set of M3 Offset CABs for my 325i suspension rebuild and just noticed the part number on the Lemfoerder box is for the E36 M3. They appear to be the correct size, but does anyone know for sure if these will work in the E30 chassis?

yeah they should work fine

That is what I thought, but wanted a second opinion before installing them.

Thanks for the input.

so the e36's offsets would fit without a problem?? why are they cheaper than the M3 offsets if they are identical?

The offset will push the wheel towards the front of the car, increasing wheelbase, shouldn't hit the valence or liner, but will be closer to them.

is this for the E36 bushing? i know that any offset bushing will push the wheel foward, but, really what i guess im asking is, will the E36 offset push it foward more?

I have M3 offset, if you say e36 and M3 offsets look the same, then they should only push them up the same amount.

E36 M3 and E30 M3 bushings are indeed the same.
