Everything is fine when my stock rims are on, but when i put on my aftermarket wheels, my brakes squeak. anyone else had this problem?

all i have in mind is my lug nuts are on to tight?

i have the same problem. i had the stock 17's and when i put my 18's on I started getting a soft squeal. I can only here it on my passenger side with the window down driving slow. So annoying. Im swapping out pads and rotors so hopefully i can find the problem.

yea dude thats exactly the same problem im having, but i don't think its the pads and rotors cause everything seems fine when my stocks are on.

Yeah i wasn't thinking it was pads or rotors. I've just been holding off on pin pointing the problem until i could take a look at everything. I kinda just turned up the radio and forgot about it. It was just a little embarrasing driving by people and knowing they could hear it. So now i have to find the problem and might as well change pads/rotors while im at it.

^^ lmfao i feel you on that one, kinda sucks having a classy brand car thats making noise!. but let me know how it turns out, hopefully changing out the pads/rotors is the solution.

One has nothing to with the other really. Make sure you're torquing your wheels to 80lbs. Also make sure your wheels are hub-centric and if not get wheel hubs.

Also check the dust plate that sits behind the caliper. It could be slightly touching the wheel.

I agree with Apex and Bernie! You'd be amazed @ how improperly torqued or over torqued wheels can affect things. As far as Bernie's statement I've seen that too many times myself lol.

Check these 2 things posted and go from there before you spend the money on rotors and pads. (hell its free)
