Staggered wheels on xDrive with DHP

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

I apologize in advance as this question may already be answered somewhere on this forum however, I just purchased a set of new wheels (19x8.5 19.9.5) today and for some reason, non of my local tire shops can give me a definitive answer whether the tires I am looking for will cause any issues or not.. I feel that with all of the experts here on the forum who hopefully are running a similar tire will be able to chime in!

The setup that I have been told that would work with zero issues meeting all the oem specs or at least as close as possible came down to:

Conti DWS06 245/35/19 (this was very close to OEM) and 275/30/19 (not as close but was the recommended size). Once again, currently I am xDrive with DHP and want to avoid any possible issues now or later down the road.

I am looking for an all season tire as we do get some snow here and I do tend to travel up north quite often so it came down to the Conti's and the AS3+ but the current price that the Conti's are, i feel like i cannot pass.

Thank you all in advance for your help!

Happy Black Friday!

Apart from fitment, it is strongly advised to keep the rolling diameter between front and back as close as possible and <1% for cars with AWD.
When I researched different wheels and tires I compared them to the stock OEM's using this website.

Thank you for the quick response!

It looks like the 245/35/19 and 275/30/19 will work!
Did you happen to run this set up by any chance?

You might want to run this in the Wheels and Tires forum. It's sponsored by Tire Rack and that forum should have the answers.

Thanks! Noticed another member had a similar set up to what I am looking at! Only thing is, I also read others who ran OEM 225/40 and 255/35 on 8.5F and 9.5R? Was always told that this is NOT recommended but I think I have now come across two people with this set up?!? hmmm..

I run 19x8.5 ET35 245/35/19 Continental DWS on the front and 19x9.5 ET45 275/30/19 on the rear. I dont have DHP but no rubbing or fitment issues for me. hope that helps. Those tire dimensions work with xdrive too.
