My new wheels! But some problem though

I have a new set up, but I was wondering if i was rubbing in the front.

I have +20 offsets fron rims with 235 35 20 General Tires.
and I hear clicking sound from the front wheels as I am rolling at slow speed.

Kinda sounds like turn signal sound. "Click click click"
It is comming from front wheels for sure, b/c as it gets faster as I am speeding up, and sound slows downs as I slow down too.

What could be causing this sound?

CLIPS that you take off when you do HEADLIGHT DIY? or stm like that?

Dropped on S-tech and no front camber kit.

Thank you

What kind of wheels are they?

Do you have a nail stuck in the tire?

Did you torque the lugs to spec?

Check for rubbing?

rubbing sounds like...well...rubbing lol

if it's clicking it might be the wheel well liner isn't attached all the way and it catching or something. that doesn't sound like normal rubbing

Weird i have the clicking too coming from my passenger front fender. It only started to occur the last 100 miles or so. I had it on a lift and spun the wheel but couldn't replicate the sound.

Anyone else in the similar situation?

I have a similar problem
But everything looks fine I see nothing close to rubbing, i know I need brakes but the sound is annoing and maby it' is rubbing I have no clue. I'm pretty sure I just need to fix brakes and that's the sound I get but mine is more like a shhh shhh shhh shh shhh sound .

there is no nails or rock stock in the tires.
and I put them on by myself so it might be the lugs not tighten in?
I really wanna find out what that **** is.. and when tires get warmed up, HOT
they don't make sounds, its just when i first start my car and drive when tire is still cold.
For front, I think at least one inch from tires to fender.
What do you think.
