you might be able to get an adapter hub or something but it might bring the wheel out awkwardly far.

I think it can be done with some fab work.  You will need to take the spline receiver from the e30 wheel and fit it in the e36 one.

Just tried this, hub is not the same size, and the trim would never line up right, clock spring is wrong, just lots of problems without changing the hub.
