5 stud conversion

Post by tommi_e21 »

Hello peeps, wanna do a 5 stud conversion on my e21 on the front,

Am i right in thinking i can just use e12 hubs on the front. i have 323i legs already so big type bearing.

Can you buy these hubs new or do i have to search for used bits n bobs.

fronts are pretty easy i imagine,

If i want to widen the track on the rear though can i use e12 rear trailing arms or do i need to do a whole beam conversion. im prob going to end up running big case welded diff anyway so this may be the quicker option any way

any help or build guides would be great and i will write up a full pictured report as i do it for future aswell
