No they will not fit. The CLS's wheel bolt pattern is 5 x 112. The E60's wheel bolt pattern is 5 x 120. I would not use wheel adaptors to try to force a fit -- not safe IMHO.

Pretty sure the m3 wheels fit the Xi models better because of the offset.. Not sure how they will look on a non xi

They will fit but you will need to run spacers on the front.

Rear offsets should actually be fine if it's from an E46 M3 and they are running more aggressive offsets. Then it should be 10-11'' wide rear wheels with +20-25ish offset. The front offsets are way higher than our cars though. You'll probably need a front spacer to clear the struts on the inside. Other than that they should bolt right on.

Do you guys recommend putting on 20mm spacer? any safety concerns?
