They should fit, but you'll need hub-rings. From what I remember, the hub-bore on the E39 is 74.1mm vs. 72.56mm of the E60.

no, they will not fit. the E39 has larger hubs than the e60, thus E60 wheels would have to be bored out to fit an E39.
The other way around (E39 wheels on an E60) works, with the rings.

- e39 wheels > e60 = ok with hub-rings
- e60 wheels > e39 = needs to be bored out to 74.1mm

definitely won't fit, e39 can fit e60 with hubcentric ring but an e60 wheel hub bore is too small for e39 hub.
