There's your answer right there... 43 front, 55 rear. Play around with different 18" tire size combinations in www.willtheyfit.com. As long as the rolling circumference doesn't vary +/- 3%, you're golden.

Finnur has an xDrive BMW where tire circumference consistency is of utmost importance in order not to damage the differential. It's not as critical on a RWD car.

Mine are 3.1% greater at the rear, Is that not close enough?

Your 530d is not x-Drive, so you're okay.

I run 245/40 front and 275/35 rears on my staggered Style 32s (18x8/18x9) on my '07 525xi. Offset shouldn't matter, it's the the function of outside tire diameter that's important.
