"whoongg whoongg" sound after changing rims

LeeJMarcus

hi guys .. i just changed my FL FD1 rims from 16' to 17' with 215/45/17 roller .. eversince then im hearing this very annoying bee-a-like sound whooongg whooongg whenever i enter a corner .. sometimes the sound surfaced even on the straight run .. did anyone has any idea what is it all about ??

i suspect it could be due to the tyres still new ?? maybe need sometime for them to run in .. or could it be some other reasons? appreciate all bros here can share your thoughts or experience if you have the same previous ..

just wonder will the pressure on the tyres causing the sound or could it be the tyre still new ?? any sifu encounter such before after upgrading from 16' to 17' ??

as far as im concern the sound only surfaced after i upgrade my rims from 16' to 17' .. so i think shouldnt be ball bearing or suspension issue .. what do u guys think ? appreciate all sifu can shed some lights here

Mine is 215/45/R17, original rims & tyres. It was just happened after 9 months of my ride

hmm both of ya ride also consider quite new .. cannot be bearing problem .. same goes to mine .. so i guess is either the tires or the rims itself .. since both of urs are original rims and tires .. might as well get SC to have a check ..

mine is not stock anymore .. so have to settle outside myself

Bro iceburn,FYI my rim is used pre facelift 2.0 n 4 new tire brand is Falken ziex 522 215/45/17 n i think the sound is normal for wide tire size la.
