Just needed to know if a aftermarket M3 E92 20" wheel sized 20x9 and 20x10 with aggressive offsets would fit a E60 M5. I was thinking it might need spacers but wanted some conformation. The tires I have are 255/35/20 and 285/30/20.

yeah, no, I don't think they have compatible offsets, but the Snookemz before me got it on the money - get the exact offset info and we'll sort it out for ya

Yeah, the wheels are used and the manafacturer doesnt release the offset (pretty dumb if you ask me) but they were made to be flush for a E92 M3. Thats all the info I have. I figure I might need a 15-20mm spacer on the fronts and the rears should be good but any input is appreciated. Thanks

The same BBS LM wheel has a different offset:

LM for E60 5 series : 17 for Front ; 25 for Rear
LM for the E92 M series : 27 for Front ; 20 for Rear

From checking the bmwfans.info, you will have the answer for standard E92 M series' offset:
