Non BMW Branded Wheels

Can anyone advise if it's safe to fit non BMW brand alloy wheels 20/21" to a new F16 knowing the off set might be very slightly out by (5mm). And would this have an effect on the warranty?

Thanks
NP

just worry about tire sizes.. Either go with a square setup or the recommended tire sizes like 285 35 21 AND 325 30 21

Empwrd is right. Tire size is really what matters..if you are considering 20's, go 285 40 20 and 315 35 20. EOM

275 315 for 20s... 285 325 for 21... 295 335 for 22.... These cars have finicky sensors in them that measure wheel speed independently from each other.. As a result, smaller diameter tires front to rear will cause massive problems with the transmission. Ie It shreds to shite...

Width front to rear is irrelevant, the most important thing is the same rolling diameter all around...the sizes empwrd just mentioned.
