Default Wheel bearings replacement under warranty with aftermarket wheels?

I have a 2005 350z with 21k miles, I got an extended warranty and the wheel bearings are part of the warranty coverage. I have aftermarket 18" wheels (their GTR replicas with Nissan center caps so they looks sort of OEM), stock offsets I think and they are 8.5 and 9.5 width (nothing extreme) I don't have a set of stock wheels currently. If I take it in to have the bearings replaced under warranty is it likely the dealer could deny my claim and or void my warranty? Thanks, I tried the search but didn't come up with anything.

Luck of the draw, you have to hit the dealer to find out.

While it is the luck of the draw, the fact you have aftermarket wheels with a different offset and width than OEM means more evidence against a warranty claim. If it's denied by one dealer, there also the chance it'll go on your car's electronic record.
