Then i arrived to Big o wheels to get them transferred and they told me that the 19 wont fit my car because of the new staggered setup (saying the car is programmed for my base setup) and somehow the new wheels can mess up my Traction control and ABS,etc basically mess my car up. Is this true? Or can I just straight change my wheels to the 442m?
Anyone has any experience with base 428i with 19" wheels? Any help would mean alot, im freaking out if changing my wheels will frick my car up
Heres the 442m wheels https://ibb.co/YXf6GtP

I'll start by saying that I'd be skeptical of a chain tire shop giving me technical advice about a car they likely have little experience with. Whether your car has wider back wheels or not should have no bearing on how traction control or ABS works on a rear wheel drive BMW.
I have a 2015 F32. Door sticker indicates a 17" square set up. The very first thing I did when I got it a few years ago was ditch the stock 17"s. Outside of some annoying road noise and a bumpier ride, there are no issues. I wouldn't sweat it.

When you get your car realigned after the wheels go on, traction control may light up/throw some errors at the bottom of your gauge cluster and iDrive but should self adjust after a handful of city miles.
