Fit front struts and rear arms from an e30 m3 and they'll bolt straight on.
cheers,

m3 struts are too expensive.

Try G23 engineering for adapters.
The Internet - It has proven to be worthless, and is nothing but a repository for perverts.

hi i have sum ronals for sale they are all buckled badly but a place in leeds will straighten them for £35 a wheel they need full refusbishment however a set went on ebay( that were mint) for 700 quid .
im willing to sell mine for £300 quid which after full refurbishment £ 250 quid would be 150 quid cheaper . than 700 im hoping there will be a hugh demand for these wheels which are off a 535 i sport with full body kit running on gas .....

Adapters are nothing but a bodge at best. 5x120 clashes with a 4x100 stud pattern.

To do it properly you need to spend the cash, either e30 m3 gear which will cost you but benefits from e30 m3 geometry or you can use a mix of parts from e36's. Check the wiki for details
