Strange noise with my new rims

[bumbl/e30/ownage]

I recently got some 16s they were wider than my 14s and obviously bigger.
I have 8mm spacer in front and a 5mm in the back, so the tires wont rub the shocks.

Problem...When I drive sometimes I hear a "click click click click" noise (kinda like the sound you got when you were younger and you would put a playing card on your bike) I've looked it over and I haven't seen anything touching

Also the car itself shacks crazy bad. I am getting it aligned Tuesday and hoping that is the problem. Anyone have ideas on what it could be?

Need help as soon as I can

Wheel bolts tight? Are you sure the spokes aren't hitting the caliper? Weight hitting the shock?

I would take the wheel off and check around for rub marks.

[bumbl/e30/ownage]

Bolts are pretty tight (without torque wrench) but have not checked the other two.
But like I said it only does it here and now...(mostly did it when I started driving) the Weights are on the inside but most definitely have to pull em off and see.
Thanks for the help

You wheel bolts are to long and they are hitting the Ebrake parts in the rear.
Are you running stock lugs or aftermarket cheapo ones?

As for the vibration that would be because you need to use hubcentric rings with your new wheels or there is something wrong with them.

We need a little more info on your setup, wheels, lugs, spacers, etc.. you get the idea.

I bet it's wheelweight on swaybar up front. Were they balanced properly?

[brantleyr]

If you get shudder your not running hubcentric wheels... Find out your wheel make or purchase a caliper to measure the wheel center bore and buy some wheel rings.

Ok
It's the Front Right Wheel (passenger side) and the back left (driver side)
I had a feeling that something was going on w/ the e brake, because the e brake handle would rattle slightly.

TSW
16 inch
205/55R16 91H Khumos (something) tire info
Stock cals.
Back Spacers are H&R 1034571(I think)
Stock shocks and springs
(working on suspension if you know any h&r sports with some Bilteins sport for not much let me know)

There's a pic of the wheels (not my car though)



Just checked the spokes they don't feel like they are hitting.
Checked the weights the ones on the back left (tire the noise is coming from)2 weights is stacked on top of the other weights
(I may just order a different spacer set up know any place let me know)

I don't know about the hubcentric th

[bumbl/e30/ownage]

hubcentric situation. how much would all that run me?
(Dumb question sorry) What are wheel rings?

[deutschman]

wheel rings are small rings that fit around the hub and into the center bore of your wheel to fill in the extra space and make your wheels hub centric.
this sounds like it could be one or two different things. first guess would be that you did not properly torque down you wheel bolts (nuts if your running a stud set up).
second guess would be balancing.
i had a set of shity rota slips for a while with spacers and nether the rims or the spacers were hub centric and i did not have any of these problems at all. i was running bolts at the time.

[bumbl/e30/ownage]

Yeah we didn't torque them at all. we just tightened for the time being. I do not have an air compressor or a torque gun but I may be able to get one tomorrow. and properly torque them.
The guy said they were balanced...but then again maybe not. I'm still getting the alignment (cause I need it)
But I will try to get them torqued tomorrow...

(it's raining now so I'm going to wait till tomorrow and sleep on it. Let you know how it goes...hopefully if I drive slow it'll be all good)

i'm going to put my money on a wheel weight hitting the caliper.

[bumbl/e30/ownage]

Here's the info

I had them rebalanced, they weren't balanced.
Found out that three are bent and one of the three had been previously crack. (JB Wielded to fix)
The forth one, is slightly off because tire issue
One tire is becoming bald on the inside

and ya the bolts are too long and they hit e-brake parts

I contacted the guy and he said he doesn't want them...but he said he will foot the price on the repair of the wheels.



If it comes down I may just go to his place w/ a group and jack them...not really but dammit this is some BUllshhhh

BTW he said the trade was "as is"

even though he didn't know the condition.

Then stop complaining.

"As Is".
You own them, as is. English is damn clear...

Buyer due-diligence.

Sell them on craigslist and buy a quality wheel.

[bumbl/e30/ownage]

that's my new plan once I get tires on my bottlecaps lol imma sell the fuck out of them 100 bucks each tires included and spacers.....and balanced haha!

FML!!!!!

[Vince30]

The broken one should have been obvious but even if he says as is it doesnt give the seller a right to lie about what he is selling. That sucks and i say you should show up at his door step and teach him a leason.
