They'll be too tall and will foul the wheelarch when on high on a Xantia.

65 profiles almost do...

Also, they'll knock your speedo calibration out...

No, they'll still be far too big. My Old V6 had 60 profiles on the front and 65 profiles on the back when I first got her. Firstly the 65s fouled the rear wheel arches on high and in motion they set up the most awful slow beat at speeds over 65mph that felt like you were driving on a a big sheet of corrugated iron...

Not recommended at all. Stick to what the manufacturer says the size should be...

Oh well. C'est la vie.

You would also have serious insurance and safety implications when fitting 4x4 tyres to a normal car and tyres which are way out of spec for the car.
