Since you have X Drive, you should not choose 225/45 front and 245/45 rear, since it could cause damage to the all wheel drive system.

For a great look there are two options, either OEM staggered setup with 225/45-18 front and 255/40-18 rear or a square setup with a slightly wider tire, 235/45-18 or 245/40-18.

However wider tires will not give you the best performance if you drive in a lot of snow during the winter.
thanks alot! this was very helpful. decided to go with 235/45/18 square setup.
