Thanks for the feedback.

Everything in the suspension is the same as the F10 M5 apart from spring rates so there shouldn't be any problems with physical fitment. You'd need a 15mm spacer just to get to stock specs. Also the M5 wheels are 10" and M6 wheels are 10.5" which very slightly stretches the tyre so even with a 15mm spacer you're still slightly inset from stock.
The good news if your front wheels are correct (20x9.5" 31mm) that you'll only need to buy two wheels and then have a good pair of wheels that can fit anywhere on the car and can be used as a spare. If you check out one of my threads you'll see 20x10" M5 343m wheels on the front of my car with 295/30r20 tyres and they are absolutely fine over speed bumps and full lock.
