The 166 rim with M5 offsets will be 6mm farther out than the 124 in the rear, but you can still use a 15mm spacer with the 275 tire for max push outward. The fronts will be pushed 14mm farther out than the 124's....perfect fitment.

i have stock M5 rims on my 545i and ran w/out spacers until last week when I put 10mm Rogue Engineering on.....looks way better. Go for it!

Yes, that is correct... per correction to my above post....10mm is the ideal spacer for the rear. I forgot they are ET28, not ET32 like my 172's.
