help, installed new rims

Another thing to check for is that your brake dust shield is not bent down so that its hitting the rotor. If you were struggling to fit the wheels on, you most likely have hit them and bent them. Just bend them back. Also, take the wheel off on the side that you hear the noise and re-install making sure you follow the correct torque specs. and pattern. Sometimes a pebble works its way into the wheel causing noise.

yeah the arrows are in the correct direction.

the rims fit on there pretty easy, didnt have trouble puttin them on. im thinkin its the tires, because on different pavements it would be louder than another. as for the balance and alignment, i guess id have to bring it to a tire shop.

wat do u mean? take out the old air and put new air in?

could it be due to that i have diff type of tires on the front and back wheels???

and could balancing be the problem?

When you put the wheel on the car and it's still off the ground, take your hand and spin the wheel and see if it spins easy.

Or just jack up the car and spin the tire with your hand, see if it spiny easily or if it's kinda tight. It could be rubbing on your calipers or something behind the rim.

Like Atoz said check your brake dust shield also.

change your blinker fluid and the noise will go away

Lower profile tires, thin sidewalls = louder road noise? Maybe wheel bearing? Has he tried putting the stock wheels back on and seeing if it still made any noise.

 

[chinxtaboi 10+ year member]

they all spin fine when i test them jackd up. ill go see what the guys at disc tires say.. im just worried theyre gonna be like all this shit is wrong and its gonna cost gajillion dollars.

why i ask questions on the Internet man, anyone you hand your car to charges you a arm and a leg. more often then not do a piss pour job that you would have done better and for 85% less cost.

pull the wheels and look at the rotors, sometimes from factory they will install retaining clips on the lug studs to keep the rotors from falling off. These can cause new wheels not to sit right when u mount them. Usualy causes a vibration but who knows might make noise also. Also cheap tires FTL //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif
