Are you planning on doing an E39 M5 front brake conversion on your 528i?

Yes, I am curious if the swap is possible with the sport wheels, or are the M5 brakes to big

The rotors will be too big. You will need the M5 caliper which requires a M5 caliper bracket and requires a M5 steering knuckle. You may even need front M5 wheel bearings and front struts. The M5 steering knuckle may not work on a 528i front axle/suspension design.

To be honest, you're better off with an aftermarket big brake kit like Brembo.
