He is on spc front w Tein S tech drop , I just confirmed it was my brakes making the noise, I jacked up the car and spun the wheel fast and replicated the noise I was hearing. GL Josh I'm on. S techs also w 235/30 +20 and clearance perfect , I'm wondering if the 235/35 is the problem cause I don't know anyone on S Techs running that front tire size .

Check to see if your TPMS isn't lightly rubbing the rear links in the rear. I had that happen with my Vossen Forged and had to use a 3mm spacer.

it was a vossen center cap that was made out of metal.
the ones for VVS 082s 083s etc use plastic ones, but
they use metal ones for CV1, cuz its different size.

I just push the center caps in harder made it tighter, no sound. lol

well, I have the same problem with my front wheels. If your wheels are 2 piece then it will make that noise.

This noise doesn't come from the lug nut. It comes from the wheels it self. If you see the second piece of your wheel you will find small screws holding the other piece. It comes from there. Even if you make those screws tight the noise will still be there.

Anyway, this noise continue coming up with no damage or harm to your car or wheels. I have it since 5 months now and it didn't harm my car or became higher and more noisy.

If you don't have this noise, in the future you will get it cause the screws holding the 2 piece or 3 piece wheels becomes lose a little and they start making that noise and it doesn't harm your car or your wheel if it doesn't become more noisy


This is an answer from a wheels professional not for me and I don't know if this is correct or wrong

You might want to get a new wheel professional

2 or 3 piece wheels, the bolts should not get loose and shouldn't make noise. My 3 piece wheels on my other car do not make a sound and have been on there for 2 years.

Anyone else in the similar situation?
maybe the rotor shield?
