Yes that's the correct size for AWD system as long as you keep the OD the same @ 25".
However, what tires are you getting because I only see 1 tire at this size.

just a heed of caution, the rear wheel will show a lot of rim....
I learned the hard way as it caused some chipping on my rear wheels...

Agree. The rear tires are too narrow. Try 265-30-19. Other members are running them on their 3IS.

What tires are you looking for .
for example:
Conti DWS
225/35R19 25.2"
265/30R19 25.3"

235/35R19 25.5"
275/30R19 25.5"
So these two combo would work.

235/35R19F 275/30R19 would be a better choice for your rims' width.

My setup on my 350AWD:

18x8.5 +35 F will add a 10mm spacer, so +25
18x9.5 +40 R

Michelins Pilot SuperSport

225/35/19F
265/30/19R

On the pic you see that the front have little room for 10mm spacer...
