the rims/wheels work, it's the tires that are different. You can't use M5 ratio tires on a 545, but you can use the wheels/rims if you get the right tires.

What is the correct tyres.

The reason why the BMW dealers do not recommend the 166 or the 167's for a E60
is that the offset is not standard for a E60.
The bearings and chassis all in all will get a bigger load (the wheels center is a bit more out from the hubs).
Then the warranties are not good either (for the wheel axles).
But the 166/167 will fit any E60 (not E61) and the looks are simply fabulous.
PS. If your car has the Steptronic ie. auto transmission its a 545iA.

F 245/35 - R 275/30 19" Michelin PS2's is a good choice.

Many have gone for 285 rear's. They will fit.
As long as the profile is 30.
But do not go for any other size than 245/35 in front!
