Clicking from New wheels Help!
I have an '04 CLK320. I was able to put the wheels/tires i ordered on tonight. However i have a minor problem i need your help with.
Brabus Monoblock VI Repl. 18x8.5 front, 18x9.5 rear.
Pirelli PZero Nero Tires. 225/40/18 front, 255/35/18 rear.
It seems that on the rear wheels there is a clicking sound. as if something is slapping up agains the tire in rotation. I checked all around and it doesn't seem to be rubbing up agains anything. It clears the breaks, wheel wells and all. It is not a rubbing sound that is consistant. just a tapping (tick...Tick ... Tick)
Everything arrived Mounted, balanced, ready to put on.
Also i was trying to figure out the propper tire pressure for the front and the rear?
Thanks for your help.

If I understand you correctly, the problem is that your bolts are too long. I had this problem with some wheel locks I cut down. Try to cut down or get some new bolts. That should solve the problem. And from what others have said, be careful because it might affect your e-brake. Not positive, but do a search, been talked about many times in alot of different sections.
