Hi!

They will fit no problems! The hub size is the same.
Just few notes you should be aware of:
- M5 front fenders are 1cm wider than in a non-M5, so the front wheel might need a spacer to fill the wheel well nicely
- M5 tire size is bigger than in a non-M5, so you will possibly need new tires

lol these should fit perfect because they rubbed like hell on my 530i until i got my fenders rolled alot and even then on large dips and bumps they would still rub... and i downsized my tire to a 30 profile up front. they have an aggressive offset for sure

yea look like i'll be getting new tires while i'm at it cause i had 245/35/20's then downsized to 245/30/20's up front so they'll probably look really awkward on the m5. i do still have my pair of 245/35's though. (rather than the factory 255's on the M) might be able to pull that off till they wear out.


thanks


I hope love bug syndrome doesn't start to kick in lol, the first time i started my 530 after picking up the M the instrument cluster was dead and now she's gonna be even more pissed that i'm giving the M her DPE's! haa
