you need to do a 5 lug converstion.
a m3 rear diff won't help the wheels fit just change your gearing

you need the e30 m3 running gear (IE struts, hubs etc ) to change over to 5 stud.
the diff that bottlecap is referring to would alter your final drive ratio-ie affect your engine speed in a given gear at a given speed
eg, with current diff you may get 3500rpm at 80mph
fit an e30 m3 diff and it could be 3000rpm at 80mph

Are you talking about M Parallels?
Its a big job to get just to have a certain set of wheels.
