Would these fit my 95?

I like the wide open look, especially when I upgrade brakes and this would fit the look I was going for.

Nice looking wheels,,and a very good price, but they wont fit on an e34, without spacers on the hub. E34's need an ET, or offset of 15-20mm, and wheels for 3 series have an offset of around 46mm- that means the wheels will fit closer towards the rotor/caliper, and front end components, meaning they will at the worst, not even mount, or at the least, rub like hell, without a 20-25 mm spacer. Then, there is the issue of a different hub diameter, requring hub centric rings.
Then, you will be fighting wheel shimmy and steering issues. E34s are very picky about wheel offset- do a search on this issue on here,,,there are volumes of info on it.
At five hundy, they are a great price,,but they wont fit. There are way more options out there, that will fit your car perfect. Check out Lakeshore Wheel and Tire.
