i would be very careful about what tire sizes you use on an XI. too much of a difference front and rear will blow the center diff eventually.

235/35/19 F and 275/30/19 R are 25.5 and 25.6"-the closest you can get

Locally, I like to go to ALL WEATHER TIRE in Huntington on Depot Road ( suffolk county) its about 30 minutes from the queens border on the LIE. Great prices, and you can haggle a bit.

i suspect non runflat since there are none in that fittement that are runflat. the only fittement around that range in runflat is 6 series coupe tires, but those are way out of spec for a 3 series.

235/35/19F 265/30/19 or 275/30/19 will fit without rubbing if the front offset is >30 and the rear is >30 for sedan and >33 for coupe. that's assuming 8.5 and 9.5" rims

i really recommend looking into non-runflats, cheaper, better ride, and more selection.

if you're set on runflats, the only thing that will fit are the OE potenza RE050a RFTs in 225/35/19 and 255/30/19
