samh29 New Member 3 Member For: 11y 3m 3d Posted 17/03/14 11:53 AM Share Posted 17/03/14 11:53 AM Hey guys im not a newbie I had an account in another name but got locked out of that email and had to make a new account because couldnt get my password so here is my problem. I use to run 20 inch 245/35 on my 2008 forg fg xr6 t, I just bought a set of 20 inch rims 9.5 in the rear 8.5 in the front, rear 275/30 front 245/35 (the front are just like they were on my old rims in size) so today as I was driving I heard a ticking noise as I role and it sounds like its coming from the front, they dont seem to be touching anything or anything stuck on them,any suggestions? It doesnt get louder as I accelerate or take my foot off just sounds like something is stuck on the wheel.. thanks in advance..

I've had that before. Otherwise maybe something inside the tyre?

Maitland Posted 26/06/14 10:13 PM Share Posted 26/06/14 10:13 PM I had a strange noise from the front when I bolted the SSR's on. f*ck me I checked the strut tower bolts, changed the pads, greased the caliper slides. It was still there. Driving me nuts. Turned out that that the hub rings which worm had made up for the bf were just, and I mean.04mm too ugh, stopping the wheels from bolting snugly to the hub. Machined them down and presto, noise gone. Something so simple.
