Just curious if any one has ever had a warranty denial because of after market rims or tires?

I know it seems unlikely but I dont have much faith in Honda dealers.

 

If in doubt just put your stockers back on when you take it in for service or whatever...thats if you still have your stockers......

 

i have heard of stories denying warrenties because larger wheel/tire packages can effect your wheel bearings, axles, and differential

 

Simply put, ANYTHING on a car that did not come on it stock, can void a warranty repair if the dealer chooses to do so.
Usually it takes something that is a pain to work around, or if that dealerships service department already has high warranty numbers for the month / year, they will probably say no to you, to save themselves from doing more warranty work as to not get their numbers even higher.

This is how it works.

I'd personally just take the extra 15-30 minutes to swap wheels before you go. Then you don't at all have to worry about it, IF driveline / suspension related complaint is present, and #2, no lip scrapes when driving onto a rack in the shop which often occurs at dealers.

 

They have to prove that the wheels caused the problem. It is against the law to just void a warranty because you don't have OE parts.
