why do you say that? abit of an explanation would do nicely!
You could convert to m3 hubs but very expencive. What offset are the wheel if they are et35 or more then get on the net for some hubsentric spacers 4x100 too 5x120 10-15 mm thick. Nods a goodn nice wheel will look nice on e30

I'm sure the Golf VR6 is not 5x120mm it's 5x100mm.
During the MK3 phase Golfs and cars based on that platform went from 4x100 to 5x100 for GTi's and VR6's, all Post Mk3's were 5x100mm and now Audi's and Passats have gone to 5x112mm .
In all my years running VAG's I have never heard of a 5x120mm PCD.
Anyway aren't E36's 5x100mm so a hub conversion would mean you could fit the wheels?
What are they anyway? VR6 BBS's? They are nice.....

I have checked and E36's are 5x120mm.
Golf VR6's are definately 5x100mm

If that's the case and your wheels are 5x100 e30 m3 hubs can't be used obviously hubsentric conversion spacers are your only option

You need to find out what PCD the wheels actually are then? 5x120mm or 5x100mm? No point changing the hubs if you don't know what to change them to.

Those pcd's wont fit together on a spacer, two holes will always intersect... or there will be f*ck all metal beween. I'd be very surprised if anyone would make theseDezzy wrote:If that's the case and your wheels are 5x100 e30 m3 hubs can't be used obviously hubsentric conversion spacers are your only option
M3 hub conversion, provided theyre 5x120, but i'd say its more trouble than its worth. Shame because toplines are
