need help with tire size

Hi forum member, I have a 2012 x6 3.5i xdrive and wanted to installed 22x10 rims all around. My question is that is it ok to installed square setup and what tires should I get so it doesn't mess up the xdrive? Any input is appreciated...

you certainly can. Size isn't very imprortant if it will be square - its the wheels rotating at different speeds with mismatched tires that can screw up the xdrive. If you stray too far from stock diameter, your speedometer will be off, but that can be coded to the size of your tires.
