Unhappy Strange sound after installing spacers!!!
Hope you guys can help me with this. I have just installed a set of 20mm spacers for my rear wheels and I got some strange clicking sound when I move my car. The faster I go the more frequent the clicks, and I was just moving my car back and forth in my drive way at very low speed. I checked the clearance around the wheels and they are not rubbing on anything at all. I had originally 10mm spacers on and they worked fine. Any idea what's causing the sound??

Your new bolts are too long! Get shorter ones

Remove the spacer and lug bolt now until you get the right lug bolt.

Is that why

I ran around town and nobody seems to carry any bolt that long. I may have to order them somewhere. Anyone know where I can try??

Thanks guys...

I experienced the same thing last time. Change the bolt to a shorter set.
