    shouldn't be possible due to the difference in hub size, 72mm and change on the e34/32 and 74mm and change on the e39, with centering rings you can put e39 wheels on a e34 but not the other way around, mabie if you could chuck up the e34 rim in a lathe and turn the hole in the center less then 2mm bigger

    Default They will fit. if they are approved

    What I mean is that wheels might fit but the load factor is also important. For that you need a certificate in certain countries. For example in Germany the E32 750 is not allowed to drive with steel wheels, only alloy, cause of the load factor. Ask the relevant authorities in your counry for that special questions with details on the wheels. BMW only has approved wheels for certain models.
    Here you have all important data on the wheels of various models
