The question is just what motors should I use and how to mount them. my car is currently on 25mm spacers but 30-35mm should be easily possible. mounting them directly onto the rims seems the most solid to me. I habe a CNC so making a mounting plate shouldn't be a problem.
Easiest would be to find OEM components. But now I can't change my vote.

So if you want to put a hub motor on the rim, I'd look to the eight-bolt Pontiac aluminum drums.

But machine them to use VW/Porsche wide-fives or similar.

Traditionally, electric motors are axial flux or radial flux, but good results have been shown for transverse flux.
