Okay on xdrive?

Looking to purchase some new rims for my 2011 335i Xdrive coupe. Base model.

The rims im looking to purchase are 19x8.5 et 30 F and 19x10 et 37 R with 235/35/19 F and 285/30/19 R. The tires are pretty worn.

Would this be safe to use on my xdrive if my original tire specs (according to tirerack) are 225/45/17 Square?

The rolling diameter difference is barely under 1% but the rear tires will be on the aggressive side and might rub. Are your fenders rolled?

It's under the recommended 1%, but just barely and if the tyres are worn i would change the setup to 235/35/19 and 275/30/19 which is almost exact match. Would look like this http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=396734

Not rolled, I was told I might rub but I'm figuring it wouldnt be too bad seeing as the rears have maybe this summer on them max.

That looks very clean! and i plan on replacing with 275/30/19 when the time comes, most likely after this summer.

As long as I am not damaging anything or rubbing too bad with this setup I will deal with the worn tires and possibilty of slight rubbing for this summer.
