24 and warranty

[Fearz]

I have aftermarket 20's on my Tahoe now. I have the money to get new rims but my dad keeps saying that if I get bigger rims and something messes up Chevy can say the warranty is void?
Thanks for any answers.

No you will be fine. That will not void the warranty.

Not so fast. I rode with a tech two weeks ago who tried to suggest that by putting different 22"s on my truck (despite the fact they are FACTORY OPTIONAL GM 22"s, dammit) I "altered my vehicle from the way it came from the factory." This guy was a complete jerk, and so if you were to run in a service manager like this guy, you could certainly have some problems.

I'm sure that they could say that any drivetrain or tranny issues were caused by the added weight of the wheel, that GM doesn't offer a 24" wheel for that very reason, blah blah blah. You just never know.

I would have said you'll have no problems three weeks ago, but since this last service visit, I'm not convinced that you won't have any problems.

Only prob I have with that is that I have seen Yukons and Escalades that were on the lot brand new with 24's on them. So I would call BS to those service managers. I also have a good friend that is a Tech at a Chevy dealership that said no that it shouldn't void the warranty. Unless you get a jerk of a serivce manager like that.. If you do worry about try to keep the factory wheels for taking it in for service.

I think it has alot to do with dealership on whether they make a big deal or not.

Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act. Look it up. Makes the techs and service managers prove what they say.

24s will not void any warranty, unless the dealership can prove installing 24s caused a part to fail. Good luck on that one.

What if I keep my 20's and just put them on when I go to the dealer? I think that should work.

My bad thanks BlackedOutLT3 you answered my question before I posted it.
