And cross rotating the stock wheels/tires will do you no good because they are assymetrical tires (Bridestone RE050A) meaning they can only be mounted one way so the inside will always be on the inside. If you have directional tires, then YES, you can cross rotate and prolong the life of your tires.

You can go with the same size tire front and rear, I have done it for my winter snow tire set up, but you will lose the stagger set up for the car.
The rims should be the same size. On my 04, they put a bolt/nut on the front rotor so you couldn't put the rear wheels/tires on the front. The rear rim didn't have a cut out to accept the bolt......the front rims do.
I'm not sure if the 07 19" rims are set up the same way.
As long as you don't throw off the VDC/ABS systems, you should not have a major problem going with all the same size tires.....

If you have the 18's then you could just get 245/45/18's for the front so they match the rear and call it a day. If you have the 19's then i'd swap out the 19x8 fronts for a set of the 19x8.5 rears and get 245/40/19 tires to match the rear.
