I have a 2011 bmw f10 550 xdrive. Can I put these tire size without messing up the xdrive?

255-40-20 front
295-40-20 rear

No.

You could go 255/35/20 and 295/30/20 without problems although the back might be too wide unless your wheel width is 10" or more. You could even go with 255/40/20 and 295/35/20, but these tires are oversized (larger overall diameter) than a stock size.

Do some research on the threads within this section, as there are many, many, many recommendations herein.

Hey y’all,
I just put on some 245/35/19 on some 19x9.5 with 10mm spacers in the front and I put some 285/35/20 on some 20x10.5 on the rear both with 35mm offsets and I’m running into some error codes is this normal? Is there a way I can remove the error codes and tune my speedometer to cope with the staggered offsets ? These went on an F10 535I I’m not having any running issues in the front or rear.
Thank y’all for any information you can give !

I don't know what error codes you are getting, but assuming you have not made some typos, your front tires diameter & circumference are not even close to your rear ones. Your front tires diameters are less than stock, and your rear tire diameters are more than stock. You could be confusing your ABS / traction control and getting error codes. Assuming you really want to run different diameter wheels between front and back, then a more reasonable set of tires sizes would be:
245/40/19 front and 285/30/20 rear.

Awesome thank you ! Is there any way I can “tune” it to work for now ?

Sorry, I've never done coding or otherwise worked around error codes. I also think that your car won't look right since the rear tires are so much larger in diameter than your front. I'm curious if a 'professional' recommended your tire sizes, since they really are not well matched. Good luck!
