use the search function ?

you either need e30 m3 front legs and rear arms

or e36/compact hybrid set up

or hub adaptors/convertors

hub adaptors aren't brilliant. They tend to munch through wheel bearings from what i've heard!

yep adapters and spacers do eat bearings quicker, but its sometimes and easier way to get the look you want from the cars stance.
