Cool e30 4x100 to e36 5x120

1991 318is E30

I would like to use e36 5x120 wheels on my e30. I have thought about adapters but they run $75 plus each. So I have been thinking about converting to E36 spindles and possibly brakes.

I am sure this has been tackled by many others and was hoping I could find out what is in involved? The difficulty level?

Thanks

If I recall correctly, you can't swap the E36 front spindles. I think i remember reading something about a guy using a 318ti rear end though. I know you CAN do it with E28 components. I think you may need to do some maching of the ABS sensor brackets to get the front hubs to work. However, the caster will be way off.
