Would they give me trouble since I have wider after market wheels not oem spec?
I made appointment on Tuesday at Fields in Glencoe to get my bearing serviced, which is covered under pwr train warranty 6/70k (although, when I asked when making appointment over the phone, the guy was "I think the front bearings are covered under factory warranty, but i am not sure about rear bearings". I'm like wtf...)

I'm afraid they will turn me away and blame on stress being put on by my wider after market wheels.
BS.
Should I switch out the wheel to factory ones before I head over there?
I reall ywoudl rather not..so much hassle of putting back on my winter wheels..
anyone ever got their bearing serviced at dealer under warranty?
care to share?

thanks in advance!

Just so they won't give you a rash why not put your OE wheels back on? I'd rather spend an hour of my time rather that get turned away and have to put out the $ for the bearings....common sense! Drive train warranty should cover both front and rear bearings....

x2, put the OEM wheels back on. If they don't manage to hurt the curb, then they'll scratch up the lug nut holes from some stupid 16-year old using an impact gun.

Front and rear are covered.

^??? If it's too much work then don't switch wheels and take responsibility if they tell you to pay.
