I have a 5 series that I am about to break G-Plate (E34). Just wondering if I can use it to convert my E30 to 5 stud?

the e34 is totally different than the e30 m3 settup. they will not fit on the e30.

You would need the M3 set-up to convert - expect to pay Ԛ£650 too! That buys a lot of wheels!!!
Best off binning your old 5-series stuff on Flea-Bay!

totally different, if you want 5 stud, M3 kit is the only way.

Nothing is impossible, but lots of things are pointless and aggro, if you want 5 stud wheels on your e30 the only viable option is to fit e30 M3 components, they fit straight on and work. Heroes with too much time on their hands will talk about e36 compact rear flanges etc etc, but they have to be bought also. I have a complete bolt on 'kit ', the bigger M3 brakes will connect up to your stock fixed lines and work , the M3 antirollbars will bolt up to the standard e30 mounts and the abs sensors will plug in and work, all this for Ԛ£650!!. If you value your time it can not be done cheaper!.
