I've been through this so many times and listed what rim/tyre combo fit the e39 and even though the question is asked at least 3 times a week the mods refuse to pin the subject - I once even posted a full length writ of EVERY BMW approved tyre size for the e39 and was totally ignored so SORRY but you'll have to find out for yourself cos I'm pissed off with reposting it.

offset is different. in short - no.

with big spacers yes.
bigger spacers = longer lug studs, too.
combined = not as safe.

buy 5er wheels.

Agreed! There's so many wheels out there designed for the E39. I wouldn't try to force fit a different vehicles wheels.
