Put 17.5's on my rear today w/extended lugs(looks f*ckn great)... when wheel makes full rotation I get a click noise with no rubbing. We spent 3hrs plus trying to figure this 1 out...

I'm assuming the lugs are too long and hitting the ebrake mechanism inside the wheel hub because when you engage the ebrake even 1 notch the noise disappears completely. ECS fuck me with the lug size or what?

Thoughts from fellow spaced out ppl's please...

I could always put my 17's in the front and move the 15's to the rear but thats no good for anyone. :mad

i would honestly say that yourt assumption is correct, as i have ran in to this exact situation on my corradoi swapped out to different extended lugs and it worked perfectly.

Try cutting or grinding the lug bolts?

I had this clicking happen to me before and it was the e-brake. It went away right before I was going to fix it though and it never came back lol.

Why don't you try measuring the lugs? If they are more than 17.5mm long than the stocks than you know that's the problem.
