Those wheels should fit easily enough. Even though it does not share the same engine and transmission, the 528 does share the same dimensions and clearances as the M5, 540, etc. In fact, I am willing to bet that 275 tires could fit back there. Worst case scenario is you will need to roll the inner fender liner. Hope this helps.
