Help with Tire mounting!
Luke,
I just installed the wheels and tires I ordered on my SLK350 and they fit perfectly.
However, when i tried backing out of the lane I was in, I heard a click from the left rear wheel. I immediately stopped the car and wanted to check with you. What would make a click-click noise when the tire rolls?

Thanks!

No they didn't. The bolts that were on the previous set fit just fine.

Just had then installed today by a Tirerack recommended garage here in North NJ and my God these wheels look great!

I recommend them to anyone who has an SLK350.

Thanks again Luke!
