E36 front struts would certainly be better from the wing stay point of view. But the E36 used 5 bolt wheels so, unless you wanted different wheels front and back you would have to find some 4 to 5 stud adapters for the back. Not so major a problem as it might seem as they do exist and, anyway, the back needs spacers with most wheels.
I don't suppose that the DVLA would even notice the fact that the front was E36 and the rear E30.
