i have a similar situation with the jerking. but this is when im at a low speed. for example when i slow down to pull into my driveway and i slowly accelerate and then it jerks. is this normal? should i expect this from a v8?

I?ll say plugs.
Another issue that could occur, but usually on cars with many miles on them, and give the same jerking behaviour.
Contaminated injectors.
At low load the injectors have very short opening time. If the injector is the slightest contaminated it will not give a appropriate fuel mist and spray pattern, instead it will have small fuel drips in it. Or the spray pattern is missaligned.
Fuel/air mixture will not be sufficent and missfiring or bad combustion will occur. Not like it will caugh and limp, but just as much noticable as jerking.
In that case, try cleaning additives in the gas. If that not work you?ll have to use ultrasonic cleaning.

My car is jerking very lightly when i go from 40-45mph and only at that speed.. does anyone know what could be causing that???
20 inch what ever wheels and tires - very typical.
The warranty has nothing to do with the after market wheels/tires, sorry.
