should do. you might need to change the tyres though as a 5 might use higher profile ones. pcd and centre bore are the same on e30 and e34, offset should be similar too 9around 20) and should be stamped on the wheel somewhere.

make sure theyre proper inch wheels though, bmw have a habit of using metric wheels which need metric tyres which gives sod all choice and theyre expensive.

theyll probably be fine, but the profile is very high so theyll have a bigger diameter than the standard wheels. i think theyll fit ok though.
