Clicking noise after spacers installed
Got new wheels in my wife’s car but when it’s going over bumps, sounds like your running over tree branches from inside of the car. I have a feeling the bolts might be too long so might be hitting the shoe but I’m not really mechanically Saavy to check it out. Would you guys think it is same thing?

When you stand outside next to the car and have someone drive by slowly for a few feet, is there a clicking noise?
If so, the bolts could be hitting the parking brake mechanism. But it would do it all the time, not over bumps.
Over a bump might be the tire tread hitting something like a suspension arm.

It is a weird noise like its driving over something. Wife is like WTF you doing to my car haha.
Aftermarket wheels would have fit nicely but the TPMS was hitting the caliper so had to use a spacer. I might just ditch these wheels and go with OE Replicas.

Yeah. I am thinking it is longer bolts in the back might be doing it. I think I put a 40MM or 45MM shank in the back. I just ordered 33MM overnight.
I am just going to sell these wheels to be honest. It is my wife's car and don't want to hear complain 24/7
