my .02 cents as I am not an expert, but I think you want to find two different sized tires but with the same overall diameter like 225/35/19 front and 255/30/19 rear. they will have the same rolling diameter (25.2") but will fit the staggered setup better. 235/35/19 & 275/30/19 also are within spec to fit and have rolling diameter of 25.5" & 25.6" which would be within tolerance for an xi. If you run the same tire front and back you will have a stretched look on the back.

Why did you buy staggered wheels if you want a square setup? It will look weird with the rear tires being stretched. Just get the proper staggered tire sizes.

Yes. That's what size you're supposed to be running. (OEM BMW 19" tire sizes).

Correct tire specs for xi are:
Front 235/35/19 Rear 265/30/19 This is for 19x8.5 front and 19x9.5 rear wheels. Less than 1% rolling diameter |
