5 stud wheel conversion

I've told that the rear axel set up from a E36 compact will fit straight into my E30 is this right ?

The arms will fit but even though the beam looks similar that won't. Just swap the arms

ok cool cheers

er, Why won't the rear beam fit? It's an E30 rear end. Front end is E36. Same setup as the Z3.

Compact/Z3 have the same diff/arms beam as the e30. It's all interchangeable, though you'd need to swap the output flanges of the non E30 diff if you want to run your drive shafts.

I agree everything else fitted but when i tried the beam on my car the large beam bolts where about 10mm off each side.
