They look extremely similar to the OEM 220M 19" Wheels from the E9X M3.

19x8.5 ET 12
19x9.5 ET 28

These are the OEM Specs, so, the fronts are actually quite OK. It'd be like a 220M with spacers. Rears would still need spacers to be flush.

This is M5 Replicas on an E90.

Here you go, this was with stock M5 tire sizes plus a 12.5 mm spacer out back. The OP of this post was GeorgeA, who may still be a member on here. He mentioned that it rubbed quite a bit for the 2 weeks these were on the car. I'm positive that with smaller tires this could be pulled off and look really good in the process.

Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you very much.

You're welcome, I think the M5 wheels look great on the E92, so I hope you can source some and make this work.

Those look great on the E92...similar to the 220s but more silver in finish.

I just saw this thread. The rear I was indeed running a 12.5mm spacer. As for the front, you need to run a smaller sidewall tire, it would rub like crazy when half lock, pretty much un-drivable with the factory M5 size tire. But the wheels really do look great in person! Ill see if I can find more pictures. If you do 255-35-19, they should work just fine.
