Hello guys, im after a set of the 18" m3 wheels, apart from the e30 m3 conversion with the struts, what other easyly done 5stud conversion can i do? im i correct in thinking that the e36 328 strut is a near enough straight swop?

Have a look for Glenns M5 V8 conversion thread as he used the E36 fronts on his. There are a few other threads about using the E36 fronts as well.
I think you need offset bushes and the E36 M3 Evo ('97 on) lower arms to correct alignment and centre the wheel in the wheel arch. You could always go for the E36 M3 Evo front set up so you get the bigger brakes

i've done my five lug conversion using tree house racing eye ball arms, E36 front absorbers n knuckle with rear E36ti trailing arm.
i use E46 330ci front Brake caliper & disc for much bigger brake disc diameter. the brake disc and pad are cheaper than E36M3 . its direct fit onto E36 knuckle without modification.
Hope this help.
