Ok not sure really what forum this would fit under but thought abotu asking this anyway. So after doign some initial research on ETK and TIS it appears to me that the front hubs from a E46 four wheel drive car in europe would allow you to do a swap with the mini hubs allowing to convert to 5 lug hubs rather than 4 lug hubs. Can anyone confirm whether they believe this to be true or not? If so then these can be purchased at any BMW dealer and would allow a ton more otions on wheels for us mini owners. Thanks

 

Common I know there are some smart people out there, anyone know about this? I think this is possible but can someone confirm this?

 

I thought about this very same thing. Hopefully someone can shed some light.

 

Andy, Onasled, anyone with experience can you share your own thoughts?
Thanks

 

From your research, was there a specific year(s) 3 series "X" car hub assembly that will interchange? Is it euro only?
