I think I misspoke. What I want to compare is the width flange to flange of the
stock diff with stock flanges, to an E30 diff with ti flanges. Isn't that the only comparison that matters. I wanna know if the E30 diff with ti flanges is wider than stock setup. If it is, that could be a big problem. From what everyone says, the swap is no problem.

the ti halfshafts are longer than the e30 halfshafts and the e30 diff is wider than the small case diff in the ti. as long as you have no issue with the strength of the ti flanges and halfshafts, i see no reason why it shouldn't work.
