225/40/19 on 240iX stock suspension?

Has anyone tried 225/40/19 on xDrive stock suspension?
If so please let me know if you ever ran into rubbing issues or tires being too tall.
Thank you!

should probably post this question in the suspension or wheels section...since this part of the forum is particular to tuning and exhaust.

I wanted to do this tire on my VMR wheels and they told me it wouldn't work. Are you looking to keep it a square setup?

Yes square. Who's they?
2 discount tires tell me it should be fine. Only 2.4% increase in diameter. But the wording "should" doesn't sound very convincing so I wanted to see if anyone tried to know for sure.

I do believe that it has to do with the rolling diameter of the tire. They can't be above like 25.1 or 25.2 inches. It throws off the computer to far. I have 235/35/19 DWS and they are at 25.1 in diameter. Run and clear just fine square.

No issues with 225/45-18 winter tyres on my RWD M240i for the past 3 years, 660mm / 26.0” diameter. As long as the tyres at all four corners are close to the same diameter, the wheel speed sensors will provide suitable signals to the control systems.
