2017 TTS with 20" Black Optic package. I need to get winter 18" wheels and tires. Can I purchase non-Audi rims without the fear of voiding the warranty? Other than knowing 5x112mm and 35mm offset...is there anything else I need to know to purchase the correct fitting wheels/rims? Thank you!!!

You won’t void the warranty by installing your own rims/tires.

The spokes clearing the large TTS front brake calipers is the primary concern regardless of the positive offset. Either go thru an outfit that tests and guarantees the fit (e.g. Tirerack) or a local shop that will let you try before you buy.

Absolutely not. As long as the wheels you purchased are sized to reasonably fit the car, you're fine. If you put on little go cart wheels out did something stupid like that, Audi might try to void parts of your warranty, but for standard wheel purchases, there's no way they'd try any shenanigans.

Also, warranty law in the U.S.A. states that the onus is on the car manufacturer to prove that any work done on a car caused a failure. As long as anything you do is reasonably performed, it legally cannot void your warranty, even if it's not done by an Audi-certified mechanic.

Thank you so much for the reply. That's great advice.

Thank you for the quick reply. I feel confident going forward with the purchase.

warranty doesn't get voided as a whole, but by specific parts and what the mod effects. as long as your wheel is not the cause of specific failures, ur fine
