2012 535i compatibility with 2014 M5 Wheels

From all the specs I'm reading online, I would think a set of 2014 M5 wheels would fit fine on a 2012 535i. I'm just looking for someone to confirm. I believe the only thing I'm seeing different is the offset, which shows something like +32ET (give or take a little) on the M5 and +30ET on the 535i. Should be fine right?

You may need to look a little harder at the specs.
Your “give or take” may matter.
Realize that offset with a higher number means the wheel comes “IN” closer to the suspension.
Also that wheel will most likely be wider and that 2014 M5 had more than one variant with different sizes.
This website may help once you have all the info, www.willtheyfit.com

I have the 343M wheels on my 530d. They're 20x9 front and 20x10 rear. I believe that both are ET34. They fit perfectly with no need for spacers and look great. I've known some to keep the standard M5 tire size, but others had rubbing issues. I went down on the width and am running 285 rear and 255 front. I've had no issues with rubbing.

You probably know this already, but make sure you get the M5 wheels and not the M6, as the M6 offset is different and they don't fit as well on the F10.

I was a actually just looking into getting a set of M6 wheels, do you know what's different or what would need to be done?

The rears from the M6 are ET19 and 10,5" wide, and that's too aggressive on a f10.
