e30 to e36 stud pattern

[sgc1001]

I own an e30 318i 2 door as a daily runner. i also own an e36 as a project. the e36 has a nice set of m3 alloys i want on the e30. but the stud pattern is wrong.

what i'd like to know, is there anyone who can tell me the easiest way of changing an e30 to an e36 stud pattern?

so far no joy

Swap the suspension parts.
or use stud converters.

you will find a massive amount of info on stud conversion by typing in "Stud + Conversion" in the search menu.

or you could buy some E36 m3 reps, in the 4 stud fitment ?

i haven't seen anyone selling m3 replicas in 4 stud fitting anywhere.

you don't happen to know where i could get them do you?

suppose i could keep the other ones as spares....
