I am looking at a set of wheels with these specs. I just wanted to know if they would fit well.
19X8.5 et 35
19X9.5 et 43
I currently have
19X8.5 et 35
19X9.5 et 40
Would I also be able to reuse the same tires? I just have the standard General UHP's for VMR710's. Not sure the exact dimensions, but nothing too aggressive or stretched.
Would they rub?
Thanks

The front wheel is exactly the same as your current, and the rear would sit only 3mm inner in the wheel well than the current.
Sure you could use the same tires on new rims, because the width is the same on both wheels.

I think you are one of the few that have offset wheels on a x-drive, most people don't want to take the risk with the differential on the x-drive by running offset wheels. I had a 325xi and I personally don't see the risk esspecially when bmw oem come with offsets on there x5 and x6 models.

x-drive is very different (and better) than XI. I have a 325xi and ran the same width all around. On my x-drive I have staggered and no problems. Many models nowadays come stock with staggered wheels. It is not a big deal at all anymore.
EDIT: I'm assuming you meant staggered instead of "offset"
