Hey guys,

My buddy just bought my 6thgen wheels off me and decided to put them on today. we put them on and now were hearing a wamping noise from the front. it doesn't look like its rubbing at all... do i need some type of spacers? or something that can help my situation out?

 

Sure it isn't just road noise from the tires?

Jack the car up under the LCA to compress the suspension, then spin the tire.

What size tires?

 

if your talking abt the SE 18 INCH- 245/45 R18 than it is road noise, i have a 96 with those anchors on it(they weigh a ton), and i have no noise or sounds, however i did before with my older tires.

 

interesting... he's thinking it was the strut pushing on the wheel and was going to invest in spacers... your saying it's not needed? yes they are the 18" SE rims that are 245/45/18

 

i have those rims on my car for a long time now, no spacers ever used, i thook of my honeycombs and just put these on, maybe your friend needs a new suspension or it can very likely be road nose, what tire are mounted on those rims?

 

by the honeycombs your talking about the original 6thgen spacers that came with the car?? yea his suspension was making some noise... so maybe its lower then normal... what could we get a used suspension in the front for... the backs fit great

 

No. The honeycoms he's talking about are the stock wheels on his 4th gen. They can be found on 95-96s.

 

I ran the sotck 6thgen wheels and it rubs the inside of the tire on the strut but aybe because im so low????
