Whats happenin!? New to the forums, Mercedes broke down and picked up a beautiful '04 X3 2.5i

Currently car sits on 235/55/17's and Im looking for a bit more of an all-terrain look. I did do some research; currently I have roughly 27" wheel diameter, if I were to go 245/65/17 Id be around 29" diameter.. so Id get about an inch of lift and hopefully tires would stick out a tad bit more.. Ive read and understand it might throw off my speedo or make it more accurate (lol) will this cause any issues with the xdrive?

Thanks a million! So far Ive had it for about 2 weeks, shes pushing 93K and DISA valve replacement is in the near future but Im loving the vehicle, our German Shepherd has his own spot in the back instead of bouncing all over the back seat on roadtrips.
