Does offset difference void warranty? Does anyone know for a fact?
I can’t imagine it would. I have seen dealers add aftermarket wheels with negative offsets before they put them on the lot.

Nothing 'Voids the warranty', and don't let a Dealer tell you it does...

Now a specific repair can be denied, if the dealer/corporation can prove the modification caused the issue, for instance if your ball joints gave up or a tierod broke right after putting on a wheel with a greater off-set. But if you're windsheild wipers stopped working, that would still be covered, because it obviuosly has no relation to the modification.

Auto Care Association said:
The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act prohibits product manufacturers from conditioning consumer warranties on the use of any original equipment part or service. Furthermore, a manufacturer can only deny warranty coverage if it can demonstrate that a non-original equipment part or related service caused a defect to occur in the original product. In the case of motor vehicles, new car manufacturers have ignored these conditions outlined in Magnuson-Moss and have misled consumers to believe that they must have dealer service shops install only original equipment replacement parts or fear having their new car warranty voided.

No, Attorneys Don't work for free, and almost every manufacturer has an army of attorneys already for just such occasions. But manufacturers generally aren't out to screw people because they put a K&N filter on their vehicle either (Dealerships, yes, Manufacturers, no)...

None the less, In the case where someone asks if changing his wheel offset voids his warranty or not, he obviously doesn't know about it, so telling him about its existence is 100% appropriate and applicable, because he's buying into the exact lie the article I attached is talking about!

New wheel / tire combo !!

Those look great. I hope the machine polished trend comes back a little. This finish gives a nice retro nod with a modern spoke pattern. Really nice fit on this rig!

I like the look of tires. How are they on and off-road?
On road they are fine. A little rumble when starting and stopping because of the big knobs. In my minimal offroad with them they were great. Strictly on mud and dirt, i didnt encounter any rocks, but they were great and performed as well as any bfg mudder i ever owned on my wrangler 10 years ago.

sorry if anyone has already asked...but any rubbing?
I did the 2" Rough Country level kit (2" front / 1.5" rear) and did BFG KO2 37's. With this setup, there is NO rubbing. Not even close. No crash bar removal mumbo jumbo etc.

How is the ride quality after adding the lift/level? I’m looking at options for my Black Diamond and may just go SAS Coilovers

How do those tires ride on road? Looks killer...have pretty much the same truck....on ice mountain at the moment. Will swap 37s soon after delivery. Ive had Ridge Grapplers, and Milestar padagonias on other rigs. I like the look of the Nexen
