Not enough rubber?

I have recently become bored and my x5 has looked rather pedestrian the past year as by now everyone on earth drives one, because it is such as awesome ride no doubt! Anyways as I mentioned before I wanted to go with some 215's but at the end of the day I don't want 6,000 dollar wheels on a leased vehicle. Particularly because on occasion I trade with my mom to steal her convertible and she is not as careful around curbs etc...

This has led me to move towards some Beyern mesh. I am considering 22 by 9.5 front and 11 rear. The guy I am dealing with, some wheel dealer on ebay in california, claims I can run this: The Pirelli tires will be 265/35/22 front and 295/30/22 rear. Does this sounds ok? My concerns are rubbing, the x drive and staggered fitment, not enough rubber?

I am no fool. I know the ride will be firm. I have had low profiles before. He is asking 2990 with bmw tpms. I have also considered just running 9.5's all around. Well that is a lot of random questions! Feel free to answer or give opinion on any of them.

As if you all don't already know the wheels, as they are ubiquitous, here's a pic.
