Unfortunately, 10mm spacers will not be an option. While some vendors do offer 10mm spacers for 5x112 bolt pattern vehicles, the issue lies in machining a hub-centric flange into the spacer. The transition from the factory hub can create a structural weak point in the spacer disc, increasing the risk of failure.
BimmerWorld is currently the only vendor that has successfully engineered a 10mm spacer for 5x112 vehicles, to our knowledge. They achieved this by utilizing the scalloped hub design found on certain G-Chassis vehicles.
However, with the G90 M5's switch to a 5x132 bolt pattern and a standard, non-scalloped hub, this approach isn’t possible for the new platform.

Here’s a helpful video from BimmerWorld explaining the unique challenges and their 10mm spacer solution:
