Got a set of 18x8 +35 with 235/40/18 tyres, stock suspension. Immediately after installing I began noticing a clunk sound when making certain turns at close to full lock at low to mid speeds. Doesn’t sound like rubber on fender, sounds like something is being repeatedly hit until I finish the turn. The only thing I can think of is that the forward weight transfer of the car when braking and turning is what’s causing something to hit that otherwise doesn’t when the car is stationary- and I can take fairly aggressive turns without hearing any noise if I carry my speed through the turn. Things that almost guarantee a sound are making U turns and going around small roundabouts. Today I heard the noise just from a 30-50 degree turn out of a parking space, before today it only ever happened on occasional turns that were close to full lock
It doesn’t do it all the time and seems to be more common when I’m turning at low speeds. Until today it always made sounds when doing certain right turns, but it made a sound today when reverse parking with the wheels turned left.
Had 0 issues what so ever prior to the new wheels being put on, and they started the same night they were put on, gradually became less frequent as my tyre pressure went down and now is back and even worse now that I’ve recently pumped my tyres back up.
Getting an alignment done after new springs which I’m hoping is the issue, any other potential causes? I didn’t expect to have any issues at all with how many people I see running much wider and aggressive offset wheels with no problem
