The stock offsets on XI models is 43mm with 18 inch wheels.
245/40R18
This reduces off the shelf wheel options heavily for 19 inch wheels.
I just put some 19" DPE SP-SC16 wheels on my XI. They are custom offsets I have not measured them. No spacers either and the fit is flush with these tires.

For just such discussions, here is a list you can consider:
OE BMW WHEELS for 535 XI
All 43 Offset
My Stock: STYLE 243 - 7.5 X 17 - 225 / 50R 17
My Upgrade: STYLE 135 - 8 X 18 - 245 / 40R 18
Others that fit:
STYLE 123 - 8 X 18 - 245 / 40R18
STYLE 122 - 8 X 17 - 245 / 45R17
STYLE 124 - 8 X 18 - 245 / 40R18
STYLE 135 - 8 X 18 - 245 / 40R18
STYLE 138 - 7.5 X 17 - 225 / 50R17
STYLE 152 - 8 X 18 - 245 / 40R18
STYLE 246 - 8 X 18 - 245 / 40R18
STYLE 277 - 8 X 17 - 245 / 45R17
STYLE 278 - 8 X 17 - 245 / 45R17
I doubt any of these will give you the "flush" look you are looking for. Others might be able to give you some options with regards to spacers that you can use to obtain that look. I'm pretty sure it is different front to back.
Good luck

I'm on 19X8 et 32... front is flush. Back I still have 10mm extra spacers.. it's pretty good 
I'm on a sedan, but I think the wheel wells will be the same. Go look around and see others posts and their wheel sizes.

It's true. In the US anyway there were not that many wagons that come over for the E61 chassis. The place where most of the wagons are (In Europe) they are usually NOT AWD so it makes finding accurate information about American wagons even more confusing.
