(stock would be 285/45/19).

is this close enough?
overall diameter of front will be 29"
overall diameter of rear will be 28.7"

could somebody confirm that is acceptable? (1% diff rolling diameter)

i mean given tread is 10/32 on a full set of tires, if you have 50% wear, the overall diameter of a 29" will be 28.7" anyway.

so in other words, this would be no different than running 255/50/19 + 285/45/19 stock setup where there is 0% wear on front, and 50% rear on rear.

Unfortunately DWS does not come with a 255/50/19. I talked to a well reputed tire shop here. He told me according to the specs they have for the X5, if you are planning on putting a new set of tires either in the front or back, if there is a difference of 5/32. You will have to put on an entire set, for all four!!!! If not you may have issues!!!!
