I am pretty sure they will physically fit, but the rubbing when turning would be a big problem.

what offset are the M6 ones?

So I can get the 166 on the 535i sport in 19's with a M6 offset or an M5 offset but with 10 mm spacers? (how much are the spacers?)
the M5 or M6 wheels can't be used with the tires they come with?

Fronts will rub at 255. The rears at 285 are OK on most cars.
