e30 BMW 3-series are all 4x100. I think only the M3 might be different. I think the hub bore is different so you may need some hubcentric rings.

o you can just stick them on. they might vibrate and break your studs off and the wheel go flying off the car on the highway is all.

this is a silly question... you can put any wheel on as long as there are the same pattern .. which is 4X100 there is also 4X114 so dont be confused if wheels with 4 lug pattern dont fit ... i believe bmw uses 4 x114 (correct if im wrong) so no they will not fit and you can not just put them on it will be imposible if they are not the right size its not a matter of breaking anything...

theres 4x100 so they will fit!! i had a friend with them on his integra without hubcentric rings and never had a problem..i think hubcentric rings are more necessary for cars that use bolts rather then studs, but just to be safe i'd run the rings

All BMW e30 3-series uses 4x100mm bolt pattern. The only difference is with the M3 that has a 5x120mm bolt pattern.

That is because he relied on the lugnuts to keep the wheels centered. Chance of an off centered wheel is eliminated because it relies on a proper sized ring to center the wheel. Furthermore if hub centric rings are not used it puts more load on the wheel studs. If you hit a pot hole or bump it could damage the wheel studs. The hub centric rings pass on "some" of that load to the hub. Even though some are made of plastic they are still very effective.

Not necessarily. If the hub bore in the wheel is smaller than your hub than it might be a bit difficult.
