Kopi Wheels

periodic clunk noise

I figured I would post this up to see if anyone else encounters the same problem.

I got the wheels put on yesterday and took the car for a drive and noticed a metallic clunk (almost sounded like a bad wheel bearing or gear lash) with every rotation of the wheel. I had it isolated to both wheel hubs (prominently the left) in the rear and thought it was the wheel bearing, until i noticed that it went away when i backed off the wheel bolt torque.

I realized that the wheel bolts were protruding in too far into the rear, e-brake drum and catching on something every time the wheel made a full turn. I compared the mating hub on these wheels to that of the borbet wheels that I removed and noticed that it is about half as thin. I am fairly positive my wheel lugs are OE. For now, i can just grind them down a few mm, but I am a little concerned about the wheel integrity with the mating hub being that thin.

Has anyone else noticed this, or is concerned with the thickness of that flange?

edit: car is a 1990 325is, for brake config

Car should be lowered when running the lower profile tires.

Spacers not required when running the 20mm offset wheels.

I honestly don't believe so but I could be wrong.

Thanks for stepping in! That's what I saw when researching, but just wanted more assurance with those who will be running these wheels.

Would spacers and rolling need to be involved?
