m5 wheels you say
you will HAVE TO BUY A M5 fender, as the front tyres are wider at the front, however if you change the tyre size from the stock M5 Conti sport, then possibley, but i hav eread it on this forum some were recently
as i had OEM BBS M5 WHEELS ON MY STOCK FENDER (THERE WERE RUBBING OVER BUMBS ON THE FRONT ARCHES ), CHANGED TO THE WIDER M5 FENDER AS I GOT THESE WHEELS.

245/35/19 Front
285/30/19 Rear
Hope this helps!

Changing fenders is not necessary. What is necessary is changing the tire sizes. I just put OEM 166 M5 Wheels on my 04 545i, much like a lot of other members have done.
Front Tire Size: 245/35/19
Rear Tire Size: 275/30/19
No issues with rubbing whatsoever.
