What's up g drivers I'm new to the forum and a first time owner of a 08 g35 sedan but I've only had Nissan cars in the past and one 5 series Beemer. Anyways, I just got the car last December and the first thing I wanna do is put rims and suspension but since I have a warranty on the car, if I put suspension on it I've been told it will cause me issues if I have problems with suspension when I bring it to a dealership. So if I can't do that I was wondering what after market rims will look good with a stock height. I do want a decent looking flush fitment, and I know it will look weird with stock height but any suggestions??

 

To my knowledge the warranty is going to only be voided on the parts you replace. There are plenty of examples of cars that are on stock height with new wheels that look decent, but they definitely look better with a drop!

 

Ah ok. Right on for the reassurance cuz I really wanna drop the car.

 

If you drop the car pretty much anything related to the drop could cause a warranty claim issue. For example you have a strut go bad, or control arm, bushings, or any undercarriage part that may get harmed from being lowered. If a part on your car requires warranty work and has nothing to do w/ your suspension you shouldn't have any problem though.

 

It really depends on the dealer I think.
So far, I have had the following warranty work done to my car, post-dropping with springs, swapping to 19s, and putting 15mm spacers.

Passenger side vibration, started 2 days after changing my springs. The dealer changed the rack, tightened everything, and the vibration is now minimal.

High pitch squeaking on braking. Changed everything but still persists, possibly caused by the spacers (as it started few weeks after adding the spacers). Dealer checked everything for free.

Suspension creak. The dealer changed the control arm bushings, but didn't touch anywhere around the spring.

 

Forgot to mention that as well. I don't think some dealers would give you much guff about other parts that may be affected, however some might, so keep that in mind.
