you will need to space out any non-airbag wheel and have a spacer washer under the nut.

You need an e30 hub--it's the same hub for airbag and non-airbag cars.

You will also need a second steering wheel spacer, from a non-airbag car. Install one underneath the steering wheel and one above when installing.

Here's a writeup, but it's not the most complete or easy to follow.
