Yep, pretty sure it will. Will probably be the bigger size on an e34 though...

Yes it will fit.

I had a 3-spoke leather rim on my old convertible that I recovered from an aging E34 and it was the same size as the one I replaced.

O/T - Golf still sat on my drive. New brakes all round have arrived... spare suspension stripped, rebuilt and ready to fit, so when I come back from hols I'll make an aggressive start on the old girl. Then the exhaust will be the next job. Then some 'testing'... winkeye

Yes, they do definately fit but as ziggy said the e34 or early e36(non airbag) diameter is slightly larger than the e30.

they are roughly the same diameter as e30 mtech1 steering wheel whereas e30 mtech II is slightly smaller again.
