Hey was up everyone! I am looking at purchasing some wheels, which I get to choose size, offset, etc .... My question is how aggressive of an offset can you run on the e60 with out fender mods (no rolling fenders). I will be running 20x8.5 and 20x9.5 im just stuck on the offset part lol.... thanks in advance! Oh and I don't really want to run spacers!

I would recommend at least 10'' in the rear. Low offset with skinny wheels looks funny from behind.
I ordered 20x8.5'' +16 fronts and 20x10'' +19 rears. It is a somewhat aggressive setup but nothing overly aggressive. If you put 225/35/20 and 245/30/20 tires on it then you should have no problems rubbing. Even if it does rub, it's an easy $60 fender roll fix.
General safe offsets if you order wheels are 20x8.5'' +20ish fronts and 20x10'' +24ish rears. You can use a wheel offset calculator online to compare this with other wheel width/offsets.
