Hello boys and girls
I changed tyres last weekend at my mates shop
we change the fronts for 215/35/19 and the back 235/45/19
originally from 225/34/19
now the front tyre makes a rattling sound (really hard to explain how it sounds like, but you will notice it when accelerating)
any thoughts? please share and will do some testings
If they are aftermarket rims, did you check if the hubcentric rings were still on? Did you rebalance the wheels after switching tyres?
My mate had a rattling noise aswell after he changed tyres. He brang it to a mechanic and found out the tyre shop forgot 2 tighten the bolts when the car was on the ground anymore driving and his wheels would of went off the car
Hey aaron - Yeah after market - yes also searched about this and I know that some after market wheels have some problems tooQuote:

What I'm thinking is to add a spacer which hopefully will do something

You only need the spacer if something is rubbing. 235 tyre width should be alright given the correct rim offset. What is the offset?Quote:

just want to try as this happened to me with my Skyline before and we put spacers then fixed it
Is this a CL9 or CU2? If it is a CL9 and lowered, check the front underguard plastic for rubbing damage.
Check the disc brake heat shield . Can be bent when changing wheel and is maybe touching the caliper,disc or suspension parts . Had this problem when i got my CU2 back from Honda Service . Just reach thru the wheel spokes and give it a hit and you'll know if thats the problem.
thanks for the info zeke checked it lucky nothing is touching
i got a cl9 aaron checked the plastic no rubbing
got my spacer willl check this on the weekend
