There are SO MANY wheels available for the E60, I would just select one of them and avoid the headache of ADAPTING wheels to fit! 
Good Luck with your decision!

My only concern is this: When you start adding spacers to change the offset, you're also changing the position of the wheel. For instance, if the wheel is 10.5" in width with a +40 offset and you add a 20mm spacer, that 10.5" wheel will be positioned as if it were a 11" wheel because you're pushing the wheel out to compensate for the high offset.

Here is a perfect example, this M5 had to go wide body in order to fit the X5 wheels:
Damn these are hot wheels! I hope im wrong about all this because i'd definitely get me a set.

it must be sitting on big assed spacers cause i know the wheels are only 10.5" wide on the back and 9.5" on the front nowhere near big enough to fill up a wide bodykit?
