Yep, strange... The BBS RS-GT 20" that I'm selling fits both M5 and non-M5 E60 vehicles

The M5 fenders are wider than non-M e60's.
The M5 probably had spacers to make those wheels fit perfectly; or the wheels sat further inside the fenders.

There were no spacers but I am not to sure about the backspacing here is a pic of our with those rims and I already know I still need to lower it and no comments from the peanut gallery about the bling it is my wifes car and they are what she wanted

Sorry, I don't mean to hijack this thread
The M5 front fenders are wider than non-M.
The reason the M5 front bumper can be fitted on non-M fenders is because it is made of polyurethane which is flexible.
Wheels made for non-M E60's will fit on M5's, but will sit further inside the fender.
I'm not sure how other wheel manufacturers make their wheels, but iForged makes wheels specific to each vehicle. So if the wheels are made for an M5, the front wheels will sit further out on a non-M which can lead to rubbing issues.

Honestly I don't have the offsets. Iforged is very secretive about there offsets. If someone is interested in wheels than I will call Iforged in the AM.

I purchased a set of Maya wheels from another member and the fronts did not fit the M5 w/o 12MM spacers (offset +29) . When I tried to install them, the fronts would bump against the shocks and there was no way they would bolt on, but they fit non-M e60 w/o an issue.

The stock E60 M5 wheels are
19X8.5 ET12
19X9.5 ET28
From this info it is obvious the Maya wheel had the incorrect offset for the application. To cut costs they probably only make one wheel to cover the entire E60 range and probably other BMW's as well. I do not find this hard to believe as I am not a fan of all these new "fashion" wheels companies that have sprouted up over the past few years. The majority of these companies give little to no information about their wheels. I suspect that most are made in Asia (China). It used to be you get what you pay for, but not any more.
