If they came off of a 5-series, chances are the offsets will already be somewhat aggressive - the 5 takes a lower offset than the GS does stock-for-stock.
Add an adapter to that mix and they'll move out even further. Without knowing what you are working with (width, offset, tire size), none of us can say with certainty what you're up against.
My guess is that you're going to be into at least minor fender mods. I would NEVER run adapters on one of my cars... I'd recommend just getting some wheels that fit.
You're welcome, by the way.
