Anyone ever seen E28 16" M5 basketweaves on an E34?

Here's a full set for sale

I just looked at the ETK. As I thought...the E-30 16" no.5 cross-spoke is not the same wheel as the E-28 M5 16" no. 5 cross-spoke...two different offsets. E-30 M3 version is 27ET...why it has less visible lip and E-28 M5 version is 20ET. The E-30 wheels you are looking at won't bolt without a spacer to the E-34.

I learned this along the way (from Bruno's site, I think) and want to test it out with those in the know:

While all E28/34/39 5 series (18" or smaller) and most E32/38 7 series wheels (again, 18" or smaller) fit on E34s, no 3 series wheels bolt directly to an E34.

True?
Almost true?
False?

generally true Greg...E-23, E-24, E-28, E-31, E-32, E-34, E-38 and E-39 wheels are pretty close in terms of offset...some variation but they generally fit with the right tires. E-39 offset is about right, but as many know on this board that run E-39 17" BBS no.5's, they are not hub-centric and require rings...the rest are hub-centric.
