What happens with warranty with 20s or 22s upgrades...anybody have a problem?

[BayArea300C]

Sorry, I am new here, therefore don't know where to post this question.

Wanted to know how putting 20's or 22s affects the warranty. Will it void it? I read all my manuals and nowhere does it say that it will void the warranty. I am sure it will discontinue any service to the wheels or anything related to it. Anybody had any experience with this so when I call my dealer today, I have some backing.

I've had my oil change done with my 22's and its also lowered and I had no problems at all. I guess if the rims some how damage a warrenty part they might deny the warrenty.

Hey Bay, whaddaya say? Welcome to the forum. This post from Joey may interest you:
Wheels and Warrenty?

The problem with this issue is that there is no consistency from one dealer to the next. If your service mgr. is a "car guy" you'll be in a better position, so before you go in for your first service, call and introduce yourself to the service mgr. then do the same in person when you arrive for the appt. - it can't hurt! I think it helped me but I'm not ready to say for sure...

Does this act stand true in Canada for Canadian owners?

"Bump" any body?

It shouldn't do anything to the warranty because I'm seeing 300s and Magnums at the dealerships with 22" wheels, two-toned paint jobs, and custom grills.

[Black Hemi]

Just becaus the dealer puts 22" wheels on does not mean that down the line they wont deny service. Oh my transmission failed at only 8000 miles . . . Oh well geez, you shouldn't have put 22" wheels on it

This would be a good argument to keep the stock 18's and put them back on it before you take it in for any service.

yeah lets keep switching rims when ever we go get a oil check or a tune up. com'on what are you saying nothing is going to happen to you Warrenty. The Dealerships them selves put rims on the cars they just happen to rip the customer off.

Actually no, I was more referring to taking the car in for actual service, not just an oil change.

And I was simply offering it as a possible solution to somebody who has a dealer who would be that picky. I guarentee if MY dealer was so picky (or is it dishonest?) as to void my cars warranty over what wheels I had on it, I would for sure spend and extra 20 minutes swapping wheels before I took it in.
