19 wheels road noise

hey i just put on 19 mrr gt1 in staggered fitment. i have vredestein ultrac tires. i hear a lot of road noise after installing them. is this normal? i cut off about three thread lengths off the 1.5 bolt. so it doesn't sound like it is grinding the e brake anymore. what can the noise be?

I run 19's on my MB with General Exclaim UHP tires that are really pretty quiet compared to the 20's on the 350Z with the Falken 452 tires that I also own. Mike

I have 19" MRR GT1's with Falken 452 235/35/19 and 265/30/19. I have no issues with road noise with this setup.

the sound gets louder going from 0 to 30 km and then from 30 km back to 0
