I have been looking into these hub sleeves to be able to fit e36 hubs onto an e30 spindle. Looks like a really easy conversion, and a company in brum sell them aswel.

My question is can i get a 5 stud brake disc the same diameter to avoid any caliper issues or do i need to purchase spacers and calipers to accommodate a larger disc?

Some advice would be appreciated.

Thats the plan. Just don't know if i can get away with using a standard e36 front disk or will that cause a problem with the caliper.

A google search should turn up disc dimensions for various E36 & E30 discs for comparison. You'll need it to be the same diameter and the same offset. Or use modified E30 discs with enlarged centre bore and redrilled PCD. My opinion is that's a bit dicey but it's probably how many folk would tackle it!

That thought did cross my mind, there should be a easy answer, i mean why sell the sleeves?

I know driftworks sell them so ill ask over there.

This is what I bought nearly £200 saving and also I am planning to use z4 rear hubs which are supposed to fit and are only 2.5mm wider each side.
