I was just told by Rivian that installing after market wheels will void the Rivian warranty !!!!! I need new wheels because no one makes a 21" snow tire. Any thougths

That's not inherently true. Installing aftermarket parts (wheels or otherwise) does not void your warranty. Now if the wheels you choose are the cause of a failure, that wouldn't be be covered under warranty. This is covered under the
Magnuson–Moss Warranty Act.

I posted this on another wheels/tires thread here but Nokian says their Hakka R5 snow tires will fit the 21s. Rivian / Nokian Tyres / Nokian Tires

I thought these nokian tires did not meet the weight specifications for the R1T?

Nokian reports the load index for the 275/50 R21 at 113 or 2,540# per tire. That should be fine for the R1T with its total weight at 8,500#.

Thank you for the information. The information I found a few hours ago from the tire rack is that the back of the rivian is a lot heavier. So they recommend the tires for the front however they don't recommend them for the back of the rivian. They mentioned that you would not be able to load the truck with anything. Thanks.

The R1T has a 51/49 front/rear weight distribution.

I don’t know where you’re planning to source the wheels from, since so few aftermarket options exist in the bolt pattern + offset combo, but recommend you check out the Gear Shop for the 20” and 22” wheel/tire combos there. Each of those wheel sizes offer plenty of tire options, whereas the 21” is -extremely- limited.

American Racing AR944s fit the bolt pattern and are close to the offset (+35mm vs +48mm). They are 9" wide instead of 8.5" stock. They work great on my R1T and can be found for about $250 at Tire Rack.

I do see many tires for R1S/R1T are avilable from American tires depot.. .

21, 20 and 22 are avialable.

thanks

Lots of options for 50 series, but 55s (or even 60s) are impossible to come by for anything except the OE tire.

Note that a 275/55/21 will be approximately an inch taller than the 275/50/21.

Can you please post a pic of your wheels, sounds interesting. Thanks
