I have a set of crappy chrome 19" wheels and they cleared my bbk on my car...I'm pretty sure most set of 20's will clear with no problem....Joe from trinity was running his bbk with 19's and had no problem....

Not sure if it matters but were your friend's R10s made specifically for M5 fitment? Calton's R10s came from a regular E60. When I had them I used 20mm spacers in the front. Not sure if Calton's using spacers as well. Then again, the spacers would help the wheels clear the brakes right? Hmm....

It's not just the diameter though, the design of the wheel may affect the clearance as well. I had to use 3mm spacers for the rears with my 360 Forged Mesh 8 wheels and it barely gave me 1mm of clearance on the calipers.
