Changing factory wheels & tires affects factory warranty?

[RobCo]

This may have been asked but I am curious with several people changing the wheels and tires on their new Bronco. So far, the ones I have seen look so much better than the factory ones.

Does this impact the vehicle's warranty in anyway?

no it shouldn't

Any failures directly caused by a modification are not warrantable. Pretty unlikely with wheel/tire swaps but I’m sure somebody could manage it if they tried hard enough

Mods on most vehicles only affect the warranty, if the dealer can prove the mod caused the issues.

Perhaps if you go larger than what the factory offers you may have some issues.

If you put on some silly wheel/tire combo with specs way outside of factory specs and you break something suspension or drivetrain related (if you go way larger without appropriate gearing), your warranty claim will likely be denied. However if you're making a reasonable change then you'll be totally fine.

No sir. But, if it's something really stupid like having the wheels/tires sitting outside the fender (like a couple F-150's I've seen running around town) and if something breaks from the stress, those parts will not be covered.
