    Strange grinding with new wheels

    Well, I put my new wheels on today but have a problem. When I took my car out for a drive there is a repetative grinding noise and vibration that peaks at about 20mph. Does anyone know what this is and how I could stop it?

    Your wheel lugs are too long and are fowling on the front ABS sensor.

    Either that (or including) your rear lugs are too long, and fowling on the ebrake hardware.

      Also, check the inside of the wheel where it meets the hub. The last kopi wheel I got made a similar noise when I had it on the front and it turns out it was scraping on the brake caliper. I moved it to the back with no problems.
