Default Will these wheels/tires fit my car?

I am possibly buying a staggered set of wheels/tires for my 2007 525i.

Front 8.5" 20mm offset front rims Nexen tires 235/45/19
Rear 9.5" 22mm offset rear rims Nexen tires 275/35/19

If anyone could tell me if they will fit, or even if it is a good or bad idea I would appreciate any input. Thanks!

Tires are too big. The max i have ever tried were 245/40/19 and 275/35/19. It were barely fit, but rub the front wheel liner when turn. My Xi was not lower then either.

Thanks, he showed me a picture of them on a e60 but they just seemed to be too big. Is there a site online that shows what tire and wheel will fit our cars?

The most popular staggered set for our E60 are 245/35/19 front, 275/30/19 rear. That set up is on my car right now. you can use the 40 and 35 if your car is not lowered.

Yeah, that would do too since yours car is RWD. Mine is Xi so I have to keep them as close as I can get staggered. I want 285 too, but the I have to do 255 up front

Thanks for all the replies. They are oem BMW wheels, will the difference in unsprung weight be enough to make a difference or will I probably not be able to notice it.
