E30 M30 is the correct way to do it, but is hard to find and expensive. E36 M3 and 318ti stuff can be used as well, but the caster will be off if you don't replace pretty much everything to do with the front end and it will increase the track of the vehicle, making higher offset wheels a necessity.


What is your reason for wanting to go 5 lug?

What's your budget? and Why do you need 5 lugs?

300 but if it's too much I'll just stay with the 4 lug set up.

just want to go 5 lug for some reason and whenever I come across some nice wheel they happen to be 5 lug

But I'll be on the the look out for the e30 m30 set up

I bought my car with 5 lug. Honestly not worth it, its heavier and causes alot of headaches. Only benefit for me is the bigger brakes. Stick with 4 lug man.
