I don't think the wheels you want exist. The "stock" size is a 165x390mm TRX. You want 16x7.5" wheels, but you will have to roll the rear fenders to get them to fit without rubbing. If you want 16x8s, there are only so many, and they will rub with anything wider than a 225. M5 owners are fortunate--the fenders come rolled/trimmed from the factory.

As for "deep dish" fatory wheels woth a 22mm offset, I don't think they exist. The E28 M5 factory wheels are 16x7.5" 20mm offset. You can't get that deep of a rim with that narrow width. If you want something like the E39 Sport package wheels, 17x8" BBS 2-pc, you'll have to buy them new. Most people pay extra to get them new on their 528i/540i, so they're not likely to sell for a while.
