e30 5 stud conversion

Recommended Posts

can anyone give me some help on this i want to swap my 4 studs for 5 studs

what is the cheapest way of doing this and what would the parts list consist of?

also at the same time would it be worth finding e36 front rotors and calipers are they bigger than my 320i ones?

just a question about the swap ( didnt wana start a new post )..

the rims on my e30 now are both 4x100 and 5x120 and im running 5mm spacers in the rear but would prefer them to be out a touch more..

Can anyone tell me how much extra width the e36 318ti rear subframe gives, if any? as i thought if it does give a decent amount of extra width i would just run the 5 stud on the back and leave the front 4 stud for now as they sit nicely already.

Cheers

So your saying you have a multi stud wheel in 4x100/5x120?

This can't be right...
