help guys...i was so close to getting my rims on my car today, but due to the stock lugnuts being too short for the 17x8.5et35 rims, i had to call cec and request the right size...well, the problem is that when the guys at ntb put the stock wheels back on my car, i think they must have done something wrong, or at least shifted some part of the brake...when i drive at any speed, there is this sharp squeeking noise coming from the rear right tire...i asked my friend, and he said it might be a loose clip rubbing on the rotor...or something like that...please advise me on the exact problem, so i can tell ntb to fix the right thing..thanks guys...(and the pics of the FINALLY fixed up car will coming soon...=)

Ben

When A lug bolt, which is to long, is installed it will cause interference with the parking brake assembly. I would suggest that you have the parking brake assembly inspected immediately. On a few occasions the entire assembly was damaged and needed to be replaced.
Good Luck, Luke

thanks luke for the reply...the situation is on the contrary though...instead of the lugbolts being too long for the antera application, they were too short..i tested it ouf yesterday and found that the length of lug that extends from the mounting hub from the anteras is actually 2-3mm SHORTER than the length achieved from th stock wheel..so i doubt that the lugs damaged anything in that manner when installing. could it be something else? and how extensive is the problem? should i tell the guys at NTB tommorow anything so that they know, because one guy there says its the lug that might have damaged some part of the brake assembly (doubtful b/c the lugs are too short for the anteras), and another said it might be a discrepancy with the brake pan (?)...thanks luke..and by the way, the dunlops simply look beautiful...
