I need new tires but I came across a set of sport coupe wheels and tires for a good price. The fronts are 225/45R19 and the rears are 245/40R19. Would it be ok to put these staggered wheels on my X sedan? I dont want to mess up the all wheel drive system.
The tire sizes could be better, but they should work fine. Basically you want the tire to be as close as possible height wise, so they turn at the same speeds. I have coupe wheels on my X, but with closer tire sizes.

I have 275/35 and 245/40. Mine are about .5% off where yours are about 1%. Not a big deal, but when it comes time to replace them I would try to get it as close as possible.
The rule if thumb is if they are within 3% then you should be fine.
As long as the tire diameters are within 3% of factory you will be OK. Keep in mind, over long term, this puts more strain on your diffs. (wider tires/wheels get more traction than the narrow ones up front)
Thanks for all the info guys. I got a great price and ended up buying the set of 19" coupe wheels and tires and will be putting them on my car later this week.
