How this problem was solved? 
M5 (E60)
ET 12
ET 17
E60
ET 20
ET 32
M5 (E60)
ET 12
ET 17
E60
ET 20
ET 32
E60 standard rim offset = ET 20 front & rear
E60-M5 standard rim offset (M style 166 & 167) = ET 12 front - ET 28 Rear (because of the staggered setup) 8,5" front - 9,5" rear
A normal E60 like mine (520i) with a 16 mm spacer at the rears, goes to ET 12 (28-16=12) which gives a perfect look (exactly the same distance to the fenders like the fronts have)
M6 standard rim offset (M style 167) = ET 12 front - ET 17 Rear which is better than ET 28 (needs a 5 mm spacer to go to ET 12) or, you can leave it as it is, if you don't mind of the 5 mm inner the rears comparable to the fronts.

(E60 19`) - ET 18 front & ET 32 rear
vs
(М5 E60 19`) ET 12 front & ET 28 Rear
Your dealer BMW has told that it not a problem?
These numbers М5 ?
36117835146 front
36117835148 rear

so for my e60 i need only 5mm spacer on the rear to fit 167s?
one for M5 (ET 12 front - ET 28 rear)
and one for M6 (ET 12 front - ET 17 rear)
The front ones are exactly the same part number.
The prices are exactly the same.
Both can be fitted on E60, but they are not approved by BMW!!

There are two differenet types Mstyle 167 rims.
one for M5 (ET 12 front - ET 28 rear)
and one for M6 (ET 12 front - ET 17 rear)
The front ones are exactly the same part number.

On a standard (non xi) E60, or Msport pack E60, with M5 or M6 rims onto, the wider tires you can mount to avoid rubbing, are:
245/35/R19 front - 275/30/R19 rear. At the front, forget about any spacer.
If you plan for a wider tire than 275 rear, then you have to go for the M5 rims with ET 28, because they have more free space (16 mm) to adjust with a spacer the gap between tire and fender, and simultaneously to prevent from rubbing, while at the M6 rims with ET 17 you have only 5 mm free space to adjust them.
At M6 rear rim, with 275 tire, no spacer needed. If you place a 5mm spacer, then rubbing probably will occur.
M5-E60 & M6-E63 standard tires are: 255/40/R19 front - 285/35/R19 rear.
I have mounted on mine 235/35 front, 265/30 rear, which are already too much for a 520i (2.2 lt. engine - 170 HP)

It's depending of the tire you plan to mount on them.
