Squeaky wheels

I just installed some aftermarket wheels and since I put them on I seem to hear the wheels squeaking, Its noticeable at low speeds only and seems to disappears when I brake.

What’s weird is that everything was fine with the old wheels. I haven’t had time to re check all the bolts since its got tuner bolts and they were so hard to get on in the first place. Can this just be caused by a bolt or two being loose or did changing to bigger wheels spring another problem or worsen an existing one.

You need to jack the car up wheel by wheel, spin them and find the problem.


A loose bolt shouldn't even make a difference as we have 4 others :confused:

I had no idea what those things were.. they just seemed like little plastics things. I actualy need to put those behind the wheels?
Yes they centre the wheel on the hub!

With aftermarket wheels if the inner wheel diameter is larger than the hub you need a spacer / spigot to go in between ,if not the wheel moves around at speed , bolts only hold the wheel on. Major vibe on wheels and some noise at 60mph ish .

There you go Chris managed to explain in a lot less words than me. ;oops:
