Short answer Yes but there is a lot of work to do. The 3 spoke K75 wheels are a direct swap.

The K1100LT wheels are set up for a different brake system, especially the front. Different diameter rotors, different calipers, and different fork legs.

the rear looks to be a fit , im not sure about the front yet but i dont think it will fit , the forks in the bike have the two part guard and a fork brace as standard but not the four piston callipers , i picked them up today and they are in nice condition with tyres , was hoping for a straight swap over 
maybe not

The K1100 forks are a different diameter so you also need to swap in K1100 fork trees in addition to the forks and brakes. You pretty much have to swap in a complete 4V front end. But you do get better brakes and forks out of the swap.
Another option is to use the current forks and fab some custom adapters for the calipers like Special K Larry has done. (But don't put the rotors on backwards like Larry did.

The rear wheels have two different part numbers and despite being the same size(3.00x17) there is a suffix(A & B) that differentiates them. I suspect it may be that one is for a Paralever final drive and the other for a Monolever.

I successfully used a three spoke 18" K75S front wheel with a 110/80R18 radial tyre, along with a three spoke 18" K1100RS rear wheel with a 160/60R18 radial tyre out back, for many years on my K100RS 8V. It's still rolling like that in northern New South Wales, as far as I know.
