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!

I think that should work, especially where the x-drive ride height is slightly higher than rwd model in stock form. I run 235/35/19 X 8.5 ET35 front and 265/30/19 x 9.5 ET45 rear and still have 2 finger + gap space tire to fender. Now because the second number is a ratio and you’re running skinnier tires, that will have effects I’m not aware of. I am not an expert on tire sizes but I would calculate rolling diameter to make sure you’re not going to end up showing 2% or more slower on your speedo as a result of going that tall.
