245/40 and 275/35 I believe for those wheels size… not a lot of options.

Size is ok for xdrive I believe. You will need to have the proper offset /camber to fit the rear tire especially if you have a drop.

The other thing to consider is what you expect from driving dynamics perspective.

Non ztk do not get as good driving reviews because of the small tire up front vs the rear make it understeer. With 245/285 combo you will increase that tendency.

Have a look at the xdrive M3 BMW fitted tires of very close sizes front and rear.

Unfortunately we do not have much space up front for wider tires… I wish 255/35/19 front and 265/35/19 rear was under BMW xdrive tolerance but it is not…

These will help figure it out.

The tire sizes you've selected are perfect for xdrive with matching 784 revolutions per mile, but 19x10“ ET 38 looks like it may not clear the suspension.
