I don't think so, never heard of this. I'm sure it's fine

That's would be a first is they tried.... I highly doubt it.
p.s. I had the same thing done and they just said they liked my rims, lol.

Nope. Even for the most ass-hatted dealers like BMW of San Antonio, they wouldn't dare try that.

Well, MAYBE San Antonio would try it.

supposely there's this person who put 22" on a 5 series and he brought in to get brake pad changed and warranty was void so i dunno sounds like a legit stealership story..

Well that's making the vehicle operate/function way outside factory specs, so I think they would have some wiggle room in denying service...but not voiding the warranty.

I was wondering about something somewhat related....when rolling fenders to fit wider wheels in the back is this something that will be picked up on easily or not? The reason I ask is are there any real visible changes that would give rise to fees at the end of a lease?

When I bought my car it came with aftermarket 19" rims already and I never had a problem getting service covered under warranty because of the rims. I even had my front and rear breaks done without anyone saying anything about the rims.
