I've seen Virgos on a 740 a couple of times (they look great) but they won't fit on late 740s (or any 940s) which have the "Jumbo" brakes. They should work just fine on older models with or without ABS. My 88 GLE has ABS and originally came with 14" wheels. (I don't have Virgos on it, but believe they would fit with no trouble) Not sure if the Virgos will fit older Turbos that have the same calipers on 1" larger rotors than the N/A cars. These came with 15" wheels, but the Virgos are backwards from nearly every other wheel in existence, in that the well of the rim is reversed, and tires must be mounted from the inside face of the wheel. This is where the caliper clearance problems come in, due to the well being in the "wrong" place.
