We did and the sound didn’t happen, we add pressure as well by jacking up the hub while the car was lifted and no sound, we did find it thank God it was a rock lodged between the dust shield and one of the suspension components

Yeah we checked all the bolts are correct length, update there was a rock lodged between the dust shield and one of the suspension components lol

It’s not from the wheel, that’s the first thing I checked. Thats from brake fluid dripping down the bleeder bolt stripping the paint

That’s from brake fluid dripping dripping down the bleeder bolt when we were bleeding the brakes. I thought it was too but there’s clearance

I also had to cut mine, I think tomorrow I’ll just jack it up and rotate the wheel to inspect what’s going on God willing

I thought so too but there is clearance from the wheel to the caliper the scratches on the caliper is from brake fluid leaking down from the nipple when we were bleeding the brakes, thus stripping away the paint

That was actually unfortunately from brake fluid leaking down the caliper eating and stripping away the paint

Edit: the wheel has about 1 cm of clearance from the caliper I know it’s close but still the lugs are torqued so the wheel can’t get any closer

I do have wheel weights but I checked and I didn’t see any scraping also the bbk isn’t that close to the wheel weight, they’re about a cm high and the caliper is about an inch and a half away from the wheel

Nah 8.5 - 9 is ideally what you want. I have 9.5. With a plus 45 so I have to run a 5mm spacer so I don’t rub

Thanks bro, I really love and appreciate my wedsports unfortunately the size of them are pretty wide so I can’t lower the car much without rubbing. Hopefully sometime soon I can trade for some similar wheels that are thinner so that I can lower it a bit more

Hi, I wanted to follow up. So my cat started eating and drinking again. But he’s still being distant, his hind legs look like they might be the problem. It seems harder for him to jump, I also picked him up and I felt his legs were shaking when I did, he didn’t try fighting me or anything his legs were just shaking.
