Offsets are fine, but you will need hub rings to fit properly. E39 hub bore is 74.1mm while E34 and almost all other Bimmers are 72.6mm.

You sure about that? According to the ETK the offset on a 7" rim for the E34 is 20mm. The offset for the E39 M5 rims are 20mm for 8" rims up front and 22mm for the 9.5" rims in the rear. A quick plug into the offset calculator shows the inner clearance is reduced by 34mm and the outer clearance is reduced by 30mm. 34mm is around 1 5/16", I would check first and see if there's at least 1.5" of clearance inside and 1.25" of clearance to the fender before proclaiming that the offsets are fine.

Unless you've gotten that combination to work before?
