Hi, im new on here. Me & my brother own an e30 325i se cabby motorsport rep and e46 m sport.

As stated in title, can you fit e36 hubs on e30 cabby..
Ive got some 17" alloys 8.5j 5 stud which i want to put on my 325i cabby. my mechanic got an e36 that hes breaking, so should be able to get the part cheap..

can it be done?
is it an easy job?

Unless they are E36 M3 Evo hubs, they will not fit correctly.

You need M3 Evo hubs and wishbones to get the geo right.

Yes, thats it...

I am running E36 M3 3.2 Front hubs and wishbones and struts (w/E30 top mounts) but you must also combine this with the offset wishbone rear bushes or the wheel will sit too far back in the arch and rub.

For the rear you can simply use Z3 or E36 compact trailing arms.
