Clicking rear wheel
I just changed over to my summer wheels (from 18" stock amg to 19" kr647) and I attempted to go out for a drive, but noticed a horrid clicking noise from my rear left wheel. At first I thought it was a nail in the tyre, but then I clocked on that it was happening two or three times in a wheel revolution. It sounds exactly like this:
I'll investigate further in the morning tomorrow. My guess is that the bolts are a bit too long (45mm thread) for the size spacer that I've got on that wheel (5mm) so maybe they're poking into the hub and touching the hand brake mechanism.
Anybody had this before?

Yep, The lugs were too long and protuding into the mechanism, lol silly me.
Worth noting that, I was torquing bolts up to 98nm...bad idea, one of the bolts snapped. I loosened them all again and then toqued to 93nm
