For tire sizes you might wanna stick w/ what BMW recommend 245/35/19 front & 275/30/19 rear otherwise it'll trigger various warning (at the very least) or damage the AWD stuff.

As far as the wheel setup the front kinda tight at +25 offset I think +30 would be best but than again it's only 8" width. For the rear I think +30 is way off w/ 10" width. Since you are on XI you'll not rub w/ the stock suspension height but will be if you lower the car.

The offset for the 19x8 is +25mm and for the 19x10 is +30mm. The tires to go with the 19x8 would be 225/40R19 and the 19x10 255/35R19. I just threw in a random speed rating.

So your saying that the staggered fitment, (F: 19x8 R:19x10) with 245/35/19 front & 275/30/19 rear, would work?

Yes it will. It's only 0.5" different with what I'm using now 19x8.5" on my front & 19x9.5" on my rear BUT with your specified offset I don't think the rear will work as it's to aggressive (will work with possible rub) the front maybe OK.

This is an emergency man. Been 2 and a half months since I started looking and I FINALLY found the rims I want and now I just need to choose the width and then I got my wheels. The sooner I know, the sooner I have my rims and I do want them before summer is up.
