Question:

Would these not work as they are also listed when plugging in my car info on your website?

I found the owners manual of your 2015 BMW X5 XDrive online and found that BMW only recommends you run tire chains on the rear wheels. They also recommend running low clearance chains. So for your tire size of 315/35-20 you'd need the Konig K-Summit chains part # TH02230K66 as these are only chains that will have the needed clearances since they do not drape over the inner sidewall of the tire at all.

I attached an install video for these chains for you to check out as well.

The tire chains # th2004705265 do fit your tire size but they don't have as low clearance as the K-Summit. They require 12 mm of clearance to fit. The K-Summit does not require any due to the unique way it installs. You could check out the clearances around the tire of your vehicle but from what I was able to find the K-Summits are only option that won't interfere.
