Default 550i wheel question

I have an E60 and it has the staggered wheels and I want to upgrade the wheels and tires to the same size so I can rotate the tires. Does anyone know if 19" will fit the front and rears?

You can readily get rims for the E60 from 17" to 20". What's more important is the following:

Lug pattern 5x120, centre bore 72.5mm,12x1.5 bolt thread and offset 15-32

on 4.8i staggered wheels for better traction if you get same width wheels and tyres rear will get worn quicker and traction sign will appear more often on instrument cluster especially on wet road. anyway you can fit same wheels front and rear because smaller engines 2.0 - 3.0 are fitted with same size wheels front and rear
