Rims dimensions problem?

Hello guys!

This is my first post and I have a little confusion about buying some rims. I own an E92 xDrive, and the only dimensions for 19' tires are 255/35 and 255/30. I found some rims with 8.5J and 10J, but I understood that it is a possibility that these dimensions are not ok. Is the difference too big between the rims and the same size tire?
I hope you understood my problem

Thank you!

You seem to be considering a staggered setup. This is a no-no for AWD.

There's literally a staggered wheel/tire setup available as stock for xDrive E9x. It is certainly not a "no-no"

255/35 and 255/30 isn't good enough. They need to be a much closer match circumference. Maybe you meant 225/35, 255/30? Google "tire size calculator" and figure out a good combo for what you want. 10" in the back is pretty wide. Unless you're going for a tire stretch, I would get wider tires than 255 or narrower wheels. Cheers!

The circumference between the front and rears needs to be within 1% of each other to keep the xdrive transfer case happy.
I have a e90 lci xi.
I run:
275 30 19 rears
235 35 19 fronts

Your offset will be slightly different since it's a e92.
