Sounds like a damaged/failed wheel speed sensor. Check the wiring and sensors....

I know it is a personal choice but these cars are not designed for 22" rims. The tires have to be like rubber bands on 22's and leave no support for the rims.

Throw your old rims back on (if you still have them) and see if the problem goes away.

The wheel that you had the blowout is the most likely one

It's a possibility but no way to tell without seeing it in person

I'm pretty positive its the rotor being to thin causing the caliper to extend to far causing it to think I'm slamming the brake I'll be replacing the rotors this week
