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

[LJ851]

I'm sure you are aware that the rear hubs are splined? Are you thinking e30 wheel bearings and a place for e30 ABS rings?

[kronus]

There's been some work toward this, mainly by european machinists. They typically end up machining a hub adapter to fit the e36 hubs onto e30 spindles, for the front. Not sure about the rear.

$400 is a stellar price if these are direct-fit hubs. Like. I would buy a set and I don't even have a nice e30 right now.

I think e30M3 fitment is best, 57.1 centerbore, low offset. No idea on the brakes..

Yes. Thats the idea. There is obviously an expense involved beyond this as you still have to replace the rear bearings, maybe pay for labor, replace rotors and possibly calipers etc. The good part is that you don't have to swap trailing arms or front suspension pieces and when you're done, all 4 bearings will be new.

WHOA. You're making a 5 lug hub for the E30? Like so that we don't have to spend $$$ on converting all the suspension shit?

I know this will likely get bumped to another forum or deleted all together, but I wanted to get everyone's attention.....

I need to know what you guys think would be a fair market value for 5 lug hubs made specifically to fit the e30.
Stock replacement fronts sell for: $140 each
Stock Rear Hub (no bearing): $130 each
I can likely sell the set of 4 for $400 shipped which is significantly less than the stock replacements.

Also, which brakes would you prefer to run? e30 M3? e36? Some other 5 lug?
What do you see as the ultimate center bore size?
And what offset wheel would you prefer this ideally be set up for?

Thanks!
