Hi guys,
I just purchased a new set of 17“ OSAKA RS5 wheels for my 03 euro. and I have to put a 6 mm spacer for the front wheels to clear the calipers and wheels(about 2mm between them). then, here is the problem, when i drive the car, there is a noise coming from the front wheels, sounds like wind noise but i m not so sure, as i go faster, the pitch of the noise go higher and it sounds like Whoooooooooo...Whoooooooooo.... and the noise is quite loud!!
anyone knows what the problem is?
Cheers
New tyres are probably abit noisey.
alignment/balance? same symptoms I was having after installing a new set of tyres, got an alignment done and presto all gone =)
Should always do an alignment and balance after changing tyres anyway.
Sounds like balancing issue rather than alignment...
Does your car steering move left/right when you accelerate hard? (If Yes, then it's alignment)
get ur bearings checked
maybe because the wheels stick out a bit further than stock and hence is disrupting the 'factory design' flow of wind/air around the body of the car?
