If you take these numbers and plug them into a tire size calculator you can look at the diameter percentage and see if it is within + or - 1%.

The tires you have here are +2.5% which will not work for your xdrive and can cause issues. On my xdrive I use a 225/40/18 and 255/35/18 which is -0.04% and is safe to use. You can try plugging different numbers into the calculator and hope for the best but generally you can find all the xdrive info on forums or google.

Hope this helps- ask more questions if you have them
