Not Sure why, but feel like I broke it...

So I was putting on some BBS Mahle wheels I got. They look all kinds of good, I go for a test drive to break in the Falken Azenis... ANNNND... Clank clank claaaaagghhh clack.. what the hell? I didnt even get out of my parking spot... :hitler:

When I was breaking the old lug bolts the car rolled like 3 feet and I didnt think much of it maybe the parking brake wasnt set correctly anyway, now when I drive it sounds like my rear wheel bearing is broke, the only thing getting me is when I pull the parking brake up while driving it get waaay worse and louder. What did I break? anyone?

I am thinking parking brake shoes, or... no one say it.. wheel bearings...

sounds like a wheel clearance issue

I thought so too, but I am not rubbing anywhere from what I could see at least.. :/ its dark and i was outside for 2 hours in the cold german rain.. I will check tomorrow after work

put your old wheels back on. if no sounds, then it's wheel clearance on the mahles.

ok ill do that tomorrow after work, and then give another post on what happened

Did you use too long of lug bolts? They could be hitting the e-brake bits.

Its been raining all day and I just got off work, I havent checked, but that could be a possibility I am hoping its something as simple as that! but for now I am renting a VW scirocco nice little car! E30 is my DD and only car :/

check old wheels to see if spacers are stuck on them..and re-apply them on your car if they are.

or.
pull one wheel bolt and count the threads that protrude out the back (that would be in your hub) of your old wheels.

then, when you get a chance to pull your new wheels, you can have a number to compare with.

THANK YOU! changed to smaller bolts no more crack crack crack, time for spacers!
