5-lug wheel hubs fro e30's....

[schtozo]

I vote for stock e30 brake calipers and discs and 57.1 or 72.5 centerbore with a 25mm offset setup for wheels.

You can always use a spacer for higher offset wheels but you cant make it work the other way round. 16" style 5's fit very well with stock e30 offset hubs, that is what i would run.

What are you thinking for non hokey shiz brakes?

Again, the appeal of this is to keep things minimal with stock reliability etc. Adding spacers may be necessary for some applications, but I would like to reduce the potential need for that as much as possible.

As for brakes, I am most concerned with using the stock mounting of the calipers without adapter bars and keeping the ebrake functional.

I honestly dont have enough intimate knowledge with fitting either wheels or brakes from other cars. But these are the kind of questions I need to answer, so Im glad this is going the way that it is so far.

I hope this works out! I would be down for a set

[trackjunkie21]

Definitely down for this, I say E36 M brakes, E39's are slightly wider and would cause more wheel fitment issues.

E30 m3 rear hubs press directly into an e30's rear subframe.... just need new wheel bearing. the fronts are the problem.

Have you done this?

[FredK]

Yes, E30 M3 rear hubs press directly into the E30 rear trailing arms. The only different parts are the brake backing plate and the brake caliper and carrier. I did my swap this way.

The E30 M3 brake carrier is no longer available, I don't think. But there is a way to machine a 318Ti carrier to fit, if I recall correctly.

Interested, subscribed.

Interesting.

These are already available from 300mm.de, and costly at that. with all the brake/wheel fitment issues i bet this remains a pipe dream.

Face it r3v crowd, there just isn't a cheap way to a successful 5-lug swap. unsubscribed :twisted:

Id be down for a set

[george graves]

Make them work with 16" style 5's and you'll sell a ton.

I'd take a set and would love to run the wheels I found for my e34.

[Cliche Guevara]

If possible you should offer a choice between E36 and E36 M3 brakes. I would opt for the E36 M3 brakes, but I'm sure some would appreciate a less expensive option. Regardless, if you can keep it as cheap as you say there's no doubt that I would buy a set.

edit: I vote for a 72.56 hub bore, almost every 5x120 wheel has that fitment. Factory offset, too.
