    Clunking noise when the wheels turned

    So I just changed the front wheels on my car. Now when I turn the front passenger wheels is making like a clunking noise. That never happened on the old wheel. It only happens when I turn

    Are the bolts tightened? Ive done that a few times. Stock wheels? New wheels? Mess with anything else while you were in there?

      All the lugs are tight, but none of the wheels fight right on the hug there like too big but on the drivers side it's fine it doesn't do that

        missing hubcentric rings, this shouldn't make a clunking noise though.
        maybe there are wheel weights on the inside barrel and they're making contact with the shock housing?

          Hubcentric rings aren't necessary. The wheels are centered on the hubs by the lug bolts, that is why they are chamfered.

          You may be rubbing on the wheel housing interior pieces. That's assuming you went to wider wheels/different offset.

            Yeah your right it was rubbing on the shock housing thing. It's you you thing with some spacers it will be good

                you're right, not necessary but makes it a hell of a lot easier to align/mount if you're still using lug bolts.
