Same size tires on staggered wheels? Possible...?

I swear I searched, but I didn't get a definite answer and am looking for some help...

I'm looking at buying a set of OEM 19", which are 19x8 and 19x8.5, but once the stock tires are done I'd like to get a set of same size tires so I can rotate the tires, however I'm curious if this is possibly to do safely and without any troubles (VDC, etc) since the rims are clearly not the same size.

I have an 05 sedan if it matters, so I was thinking 245/40/19 on all four corners ideally...

Thanks in advance!

Candlestickpark has that setup on his sedan. You wont have any problems with it. But to rotate the tires you'll have to demount the tires and have them remounted.

Yea you won't want the larger wheels in front. Either way rotating tires + staggered setup = a pain.
