wheels from 2006 530 touring

Does anyone know whether the wheels from a 2006 530Xi wagon will fit on the GT? I have a set of gorgeous 19 inch BBS wheels in 8.5 inch width and really would like to use them...))) The tires are Conti DW 245/35 and eventually I would like to go up a size in height (go to 245/40?) in order to protect the rims. Is that possible?

A call to BBS might give you a better, more accurate answer. The GT is built on the 7-series chassis, not the 5-series, so some things don't cross over well. Things like bolt circle, and offset need to be taken into account to verify clearances and bearing loads. If it were an OEM wheel, a generic answer might be available, but aftermarket wheels, all bets are off.

Changing the profile without changing the width will change the rolling diameter of the tire/wheel assembly, so you may or may not be able to get a taller tire to fit, plus, the odometer, speedometer, and gearing would change as well. You really need to keep the overall rolling diameter as close to factory spec as possible and that doesn't give you very many options on various tire sizes for the same wheel and vehicle.
